context1: At that time, one assessment indicated: Today the Pujiang is run down and can get cold and clammy in winter - otherwise its nice. At the end of 1989, the Pujiang was Shanghai's official backpackers' hangout, with at least eight dormitories accommodating twenty people in each. Accommodation in the <strong>cheap</strong> if austere dormitory rooms, was <strong>inexpensive</strong>.

This shift from comparatively large Arriflex cameras and Nagra tape recorders in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s to the use of <strong>inexpensive</strong> self-contained digital cameras, is due in part to its appeal as inconspicuous equipment. Additionally, the cost factor using <strong>cheap</strong> prosumer cameras cannot be ignored.
