Using digital camera for illustrations?

[greg_ontheroad -at- hotmail -dot- com]

Hi All:
 
I have a client that has a TV set up box the requires some documentation.
I
am ok with the software part of doing the docs, but it is the hardware
element that bothers me. I can describe the hardware (and have done so in
the past) but I have always had a technical illustrator to work with when
I
did hardware documentation. My illustration skills are limited so I was
thinking about using a digital camera to take pictures of the hardware I
needed to document, than add call outs to the pictures once I added them
into the manual. I almost worked with a client that wanted me to do
something similar for them, so I have always had this in the back of my
mind
as an approach I could use in future jobs.
 
Has anyone had any experience with using a digital camera to take pics of
hardware components they have had to document? Got any suggestions for
best
practices?
 
Thanks
 
Greg Thompson
