It is nice to have a “junky” camera...it defeats the purpose of having only a “good” camera if it’s too expensive to take it anywhere or to use it anywhere where it might get dirty.

It’s also good if you work on cars and you want to document what you took off so that you can put it back!

A little trick Mr. Bunk taught me: get a pile of those plastic stackable food tubs and as you take stuff apart, put everything in the tubs, one by one, in layers. No need to use caps. Pretty soon you’ll have a little tower of nuts, bolts, washers, etc, layer by layer in the stacked tubs. Then, when you go to put stuff back together you just work your way down the tower. It really works... No more mystery bits.

DITTOS to that. I got some digital camera/camcorder at Rite Aid last year. It's kind of like a flip camera but not as good. IIRC I paid 10-15 bucks or LESS. I used it to see where the power steering fluid was leaking from the steering gear on my Durango. Also checked out stuff on other cars where I couldn't see otherwise.

It's been invaluable for stuff like that and documenting where things go!

Yup it gets dirty and beat up but it still works!

Just did that with replacing rear (drum) brakes on my pickup. I didn’t want to take both apart at the same time as so used photos instead.
