Surreptitious Snapshots

Submitted by Elliott Banfield, Feb 6, 2007 08:27

The visitor to any major museum is overwhelmed by the number of works on display. He gets tired after 30 minutes. His camera allows him to revisit the museum's holdings at his leisure, when he's prepared to take in the experience. The museum honchos should be pleased by this development; but since they are the custodians of snobbery they resist it. The masters of the Frick should be ashamed of themselves. The best camera for museum goers is the Fujifilm Finpix F 30. It can take good pictures at very low light conditions, and it's very small.
