In my brief experience with graphics, I noticed that most camera models have a "pinhole camera" default setting. Is there a reason why this is even though pinhole commons are not common anymore?

@Rishiparikh Pinhole models are typically used out of convenience. While less accurate, their simplicity is often worth the tradeoff. There are various other models that take into account lens distortions, aperture size, chromatic abberation, etc, that are used when precision is essential. However, it is often difficult to determine the correct parameters for these models with extensive measurement of the target lens.

Would this mean that this mathematical model is changing the coordinates of the object in view through the camera in order to distort the object to look like it is in perspective?
