Well, generally the same here.. fortunately I have an own workshop and
don't need
to occupy our kitchen...
To take the photos I use my "retired" digicams. Just 3.2 or 5
megapixels but still
good enough for documentation in the workshop and you don't need to care
to much about them.  Especially my old Nikon 3200
has a smooth surface where oil can be easily polished away.. ;-)

Regards

Henning
