Of course !
Any serious digital SLR camera (even simplest digital cameras) have a
remote control and/or a timer with minimum two time levels . It was a
good joke and a good picture of course.
On my last visit to NY I went being sure I'll buy a SLR. Not an
expensive one, I've choose some in $800-$1000 range.
Dissapoint was huge. Any DSL camera from the web was 10%-40% more
expensive in the real store + 8% TAX (a sort of VAT, no one in any
store couldn't explain me clear what is this tax).
So I didn't bought any...
