Default what cameras do you use for your detailing pics?

What camera(s) do you use to take your detailing pics? Anyone use a point and click? I want to buy a point and click for the ease of use and the size. I just want to see what people use.

Thanks
Roger

I usually steal the g/fs Canon Powershot A670 (I think that's the one).
P&S 7.1MP camera. Does just fine. I dont need anything crazy to show shiny paint. As long as it gets the point across

Results from her camera are shown in the Oregon Detail thread. Those were reduced for filesize purposes of course. I'd be happy to send you some originals if you want to see them at full quality.

I use an Olympus for a point and shot and my Nikon D40 when I want a bit better quality.

I use my Canon Rebel XTi with various filters on the end of the kit lens. Of the current point and shoot set, I really like the Canon S5 IS. A friend of mine's got one and it's nice and versatile, not too clunky, and the IS seems to do a really good job if you're like me and don't have super steady hands. I'd hit it
