Pinhole cardboard camera vs Nikon D800E?

The cardboard pinhole is a lot cheaper than D800E. But the D800E is missing a low pass filter giving much sharper images. But the cardboard pinhole has a lot less moire. Which to make/buy?

Man, Nikons suck. They can't make a halfway decent camera. I'd go with Cardboard™ any day. Their cameras are the best. They have so many freaking megapixels. And you can shoot RAW with them. Plus Nikons don't use film, and Cardboard™ cameras do. Film is way better and automatically makes you more artistic. I know because I shoot a Holga. In fact, Cardboard™ cameras are so awesome that if you buy one, you are automatically a professional photographer and should immediately start shooting weddings.

Here is how all the different cameras sensors perform.

Since there are no digital pinhole cameras listed it is going to be tough to make a logical choice.

If you are shooting subjects which have to potential of creating moire, then buy the runner up, the D800

Well, … This has got to be a joke question, but just in case you are serious, why "the cardboard pinhole"? I suggest the Zero Image pinhole. It IS a work of art and it truly does give you the CAPABILITY of creating some great photographs. I have the 6 x 9 medium format camera.
