Re: What Camera do you use (and do you like it)!
I've been using a Canon S5is, love it. It's very easy too use and can take great pics, I'm partial to cannons for the CHDK program that you can run on nearly all Canon's giving it capability's of a high-end SLR.
For battery's I suggest Sanyo Eneloop's. I also got and extra 8-pack of the AA's. These rechargeable battery's actually last.

Very cool...Canon seems to be getting a lot of love on this thread so far!
And Xcessiv...very cool picture..I hope to be able to detail a ride like that sometime soon...need a few things first (starting with a rotary) but then ill be practicing my ass off! ....just hoping i can find a good deal on a kit or a used one. The list keeps growing....its alive!

Re: What Camera do you use (and do you like it)!
I have to second the Sanyo Eneloops. I'm told if you have a Costco near by that they're often available at a really good price.
I've used a lot of camera's and read a lot of reviews. One thing that I have noticed, is you have to take reviews with a grain of salt.
Features that you want, since they are useful:
Image Stabilization
Some kind of control - especially flash on/off
Close focusing mode
If you can stomach it, always better to read reviews and find out if folks state that they've found a particular camera to be delicate. A camera that can't travel well especially around the work area - like detailing, won't hold up. If folks say the AF on the camera is slow, that will also frustrate you.

Re: What Camera do you use (and do you like it)!
I had a Panasonic Lumix that was fantastic...until some clown stole it out of my car when at a car show last month!
I replaced it with a new Lumix, plus I got a Canon EOS SXi SLR for more serious work. The Lumix is even better than the prior one, but I haven't had much time to work with the Canon yet.
I figure between those two, there's not likely much I can't handle when I need to take photos.
