I don't think it is the cameras that have changed things, it is the internet and social media. I remember 40 years ago at the nude beach at Rooster Rock that cameras were common. Most people did not object and many photos were taken. Cameras were big enough that you could see if someone had one. But there was little "danger", as there was no internet to share the photos or make them public.
All this talk about drones, and no one has mentioned trail cams. These are motion activated cameras that hunters attach to trees and other objects to get pictures of the different animals moving about in the areas they are interested in hunting. They take pictures without anyone around, and you may never know about it. Just something to keep in mind when you are out hiking nude in the woods.
It's not just cameras, but technology advances in general that have a huge impact. We could argue back and forth about whether it's a good or bad thing but it certainly has brought a lot of changes during my nudist lifetime.

So they are too fat and lazy these days to go out and do their own detective work such as setting up a hide and looking for foot marks of the animals they want to kill.
