I am retired heavy equipment mechanic! I have used a camera just for that very same thing!! when you are out in the field and more than 1 job going in different locations , it was good to have reference!!
even though a person has rebuilt hundreds of Detroit Diesels, when you tear down a 16v92 {that has multiple configurations}, it really does save time!!!

Documenting what you found in the diagnosis will serve you well. Great use of photography when the owner of such equipment might ask you for your reasoning for his/her repair bill.

Too bad it didn't make setting the racks easier!

My cameras aren't anything great,but they're still too good for doorstops.
Jim, yes, I been doing that for year with all types of disassembly.
I also record wiring and plumbing in walls before a wall is sheetrocked so a homeowner will have a record of what and where things are inside their walls for future work or alterations. ;-)

PS, as for doorstops, nothing stops like a Nikon!! :wink: :lol:

On several occasions I have, for future reference, photographed new irrigation lines that would soon be covered up. Also, photographed the markings left by the utility markers prior to digging.

I was a construction inspector for a large corporation a few years ago. A contractor (former) told me, "It's my job to cheat and your job to catch me." I pulled out my Sony Mavica digital camera and documented a day's infractions on a box of floppies and emailed them to our engineers and the legal department. The next afternoon a warning was issued and the following day he was removed from the job. He laughed at my diligence and our specifications but the pictures wiped the smile away.
The macro lens I had allowed me to take pictures of the tiniest details. I could get 12 to 14 pictures on a 1.4 meg floppy. The times are-a changin'...

I bought a 1998 Porsche Boxster about 4 years ago from a shop in Birmingham Alabama. I live in Slidell, La. It needed a few minor repairs before I wanted to drive it 300 miles. Got an email from the shop doing the repairs and he wanted to know my email address, so I gave it to him. He emailed me the entire inspection he did on the vehicle and showed in his video just what was wrong and showed how he repaired it. I thought it was a great marketing tool. I am 300 miles away, how did I know what was wrong and if it was repaired. He did what he said he was going to do and showed me from 300 miles away.
