Hm, I wonder if that would be sufficient. You wouldn't be able to achieve "perfect blackness" as in the resulting image coming from the camera being pitch-perfect black (or rather, all pixels returning exactly rbg(0,0,0)) as everything analog in the camera have small but vital imperfections.
I'd posit taking a camera and putting it in a perfectly dark room / covering the lens with a totally black sheet would still be able to generate some sort of entropy to be used.
