Idea of super spy camera

Spies are not born, spies become.

Very often it would be desirable to take a photograph of somebody or something but to make it in opened happens inconveniently, happens it is forbidden. I have a not small 8x zoom camera, so it is very difficult to use it imperceptibly. Reflecting above those problem, the idea of creation spy mega camera was born. The idea consists in division of the camera on 3 (or more) parts: an objective, the screen and the shutter button.

An objective, in itself, even at ultra-zooms, compact enough, it is possible to hide in a hand, a cap or somewhere else.

Often, the attention involves not the camera, and not directed an objective, attention involves directed a sight of the person how tries to make a picture. Accordingly, it is necessary to make that the photographer during the moment of shooting do not look at a photographed object. Thus, the screen of the camera, should be not simply rotary. It should be demountable and mobile. That, for example, it was possible to hold an objective in one hand, and the screen to hold in another.

Well and, at last, the shutter button. It too should be mobile. It is possible to combine with the screen, but it is better to make it not dependent. That the camera could be turn on remotely.
