Good point and shoot camera?

I recently used some Nevr-Dull on my exhaust pipe. This stuff is fantastic. It removed four months' worth of accumulated exhaust crud.



The only thing that the Nevr-Dull failed to remove was some little black spots. I do not know where the spots came from, or what they are made of. Does anyone know how I might remove them? I would like to use a non-abrasive product if possible.
 
Hey Dude.....



It sounds to me as if you have some road tar spotting on your pipes. I would use a bug and tar remover and then just re-polish with the Never Dull.



Hope this helps. :D
 
I know this sounds dangerous but before I knew anything about detailing I used paint remover to dissolve the baked on tar. If the bug and tar remover does not work, try a little of that. The paint remover did not seem to affect the chrome in any way at least on my vehicle. I just wiped and rinsed it off.
 
I think my Kodak Easyshare 6.1mp camera has seen better days.
I keep getting blurred pics and it's frustrating. I've dropped it a few times, so I think that may have something to do with its on and off poor performance.
That said, I'm looking for some recommendations on a point and shoot type camera.
Nothing fancy. Just something decent that takes nice pictures without having to adjust focus and things like that...
TIA...

For good camera info do a google search for "Ken Rockwell" and check out his site.

He makes a living reviewing cameras and posting his reviews online.

I'm fairly sure he gets nothing from the companies so the opinions are all his and not bias to any manufacturer.
 
My camera is a Canon PowerShot ELPH. My wife wanted a point and shoot camera, so we bought the Canon Powershot A490. Large viewing screen, 10 Megapixel, 3.3 optical zoom. GREAT quality pictures. We paid $109 at Sears.

I love my Canon Powershot G10IS:

This is 14.7megapixel with a digic 4 processor (same as their $1500+ line). It has a 28mm wide lens which is handy when you want to get a whole car in a pic without stepping back too far. It also has a 5x zoom to give you pretty good close ups of your detail work.

The camera I had before was a Canon Powershot SD 980IS. It is also a great camera and a little less $$ than the G10. I gave it to my daughter - she wanted something smaller that was easy to slip into a pocket.

Canon recently introduced the G11 which looks similar to the G10 but has lower megapixel at 10, but has a higher ISO for better low light capabilities.

It is hard to beat the Canon lineup for good quality at a reasonable price.
 
Canon definitely makes a good product. I've dropped mine numerous times, stepped on it, kicked it once, and nearly ran over it a couple times! (I'm just a big klutz!):out::biggrin: Camera still works great!:clap:
 
In terms of point and shoot, I would get a canon over any other brand. I have had an excellent experience with mine, moreso than the kodaks or nikons. I do however like the Nikon DSLR's... but the Canon Point and Shoots are affordable and offer excellent features and are user friendly.
 
My wife bought me a Kodak 12 megapixel camera for Christ-X :Gift:

She has a really nice one, but want let me touch it.I mentioned several months back that I needed a camera to document my work. I however have only taken about 10 pictures and those were of my dog. I actually at this very moment couldn't even tell you were the camera is :redface:

She gave about $150 for mine with a spare battery, case and memory card. She got it at Best Buy :Snowman:
 
i am a professionally trained amateur photog guy and i use canon slr gear.... but for point and shoots the canon g series cameras are almost as good as their slr counterparts...
 
I got my hands on my wifes camera :drool5:

Its a Canon Power Shot SX20is 12.1 Mega Pixels Da Rules!

It takes a fantastic picture and I'm sure its one of the best on the market for its price range as my wife researches the heck out of everything she buys :spy:

I have no idea what I...Urrrrh, I mean She paid for the camera :cursing:
 
Check out Panasonic Lumix P&S's also. Just got a ZS3 to complement my Pentax DSLR and so far it's been a a real treat. Not a lot of manual exposure control but we didn't buy it for that, just wanted a good all-round pocketable camera with HD video and a nice zoom lens.
