I use the camera more than I thought. Taking something apart, it helps to put it back together. It helps me document what still needs to be done on projects at a different location from my shop. Taking a picture of something before I go to the store for parts. I even use it to take pictures of nuts and screws in difficult locations.

Right. And for those who won't/can't adapt to smart phones with their amazing camera tech features, there's always this....

Yep. I am amazed how much I use the camera when buying things, fixing things, you name it. Sometimes if I need to see something in a hard to get at location I’ll set the time to three seconds, turn on the flash, hold it where it can see the thing and get a shot that clearly shows me what I needed to see.

In fact, I have an old smart phone that I use for all of the smart features, including connectivity to Youtube using wi-fi, but only as the equivalent of a small “iPad”. It’s camera is actually better than the camera in my active smart phone.

Same here. That's basically what I use my smart phone for. I make or take maybe two phone calls a week, and never look at the internet on my phone but take dozens of photos, mostly outdoor scenes. I find it very handy to always have a small camera in my pocket.
