They can, yes. The damage won't be immediately noticable, but is cumulative with all the light that hits that painting. If you have lived in the same house for a really long time, and anything has been hanging on the wall for all that time, and the room hasn't been repainted... go and move it slightly. You will see a difference in color between the wall behind whatever was hung on the wall and the wall beside it. The paint around the object will seem bleached out. Light can do damage to lots of things. We worry about it more with older paintings because they have so much cumulative light damage already. The more popular the painting, the more you worry as well, because more people will want to take pictures.

Nikon SLR Camera Accessories?

While it can be tempting to purchase the more expensive Nikon SLR camera accessories, there really is no need to if you're on a budget. If you happen to be in this kind of position, then it isn't a bad idea to buy accessories like lenses and flashes from third-party brands. Just make sure that these are completely compatible with your current camera. There's also a good chance that these accessories are better than the Nikon branded versions.
