the camera being dead centre and parallel to the two mirrors which are opposite each other, what will the photo look like (as the picture would be a reflection of a reflection of a reflection etc, etc,)

you would get infintate mirrors getting slowly smaller each instance.
The reason is that when the invisible camera is facing one mirror, the image of the mirror behiind is slightly smaller due to the distance, and so on and so forth.
You would get and infinate set of mirror edges going off into the distance.
Damn good question dude.

Assuming you use photo shop to eliminate the image of the camera, and assuming you have a flash (because you seem to assume no other light source), then you will only have a picture of white light. And then you can have that picture of white in mat or glossy.
You could have asked if such a camera takes a picuture with two mirrors and the mirrors are 2 meters appart taking into account the speed of light c, then how many images will be formed in the mirrors in say 2 seconds. But there will also be a point at which images will be so small that there can not be images of that size, so the next question would be what is the maximum number of immages possible. Good luck in you quest for wisdom.

Couldn't you try this with two one-way mirrors, so your camera is behind one and can see the other, but the reflection is of a mirror only?

If the two mirrors are faceing each other with nothing visible between you would see a reflection to the power n of NOTHING.

It would kind of look like a like tunnel extending backwards and getting smaller. I was in a bar on my holiday in Spain (and no I wasn't drunk) a couple of weeks ago and in the ladies loo they had two mirrors facing each other dirrectly opposite - one on each side of the wall of the toilet cubicle. So it reflected backwards looking like a tunnel.

once you seem in a reflect, you nevertheless have intensity concept. Your eyes can and could bounce to effective aspects that stand out, as in protecting including your own self photo. in case you imagine you've fairly eyes, you may capture your self observing your own eyes contained in the reflect. a photo on the different hand is only a 2 dimensional representation of something it is 3 dimensional, so indiviual effective aspects received't be straight forward to spotlight. Ever see a television or action picture megastar in individual? they tend to seem extremely different. Stand back from the reflect, cover one eye, and seem at your entire face. it ought to seem slightly different.

How will you find the invisible camera in the first place to take the picture?

You may have trouble finding the film in an invisible camera so you may never know what the pic would look like.

well we all know that mirrors hav mystic properties, they let us see ourselves, as we expect ourselves to look, however, is this how we really look, or is it the mirror's perception?? i think that we may get a glimpse of the true nature of the universe, if we do this, becos the two mirrors wud cancel oneanother out, leaving us with a true view of reality...
