In my on going crusade for all achievements (I'm a perfectionist D: ) I am having difficulty with the camera shy achievement in portal.
I know you use portals to knock them off the walls however:
1) There are cameras before you ge the portal that cannot be revisited
2) Some cameras are on "un-portable" walls.
So how do I get these? Or have i just missed some of the ones on the portalble walls?
EDIT: OH BTW, I can get about 25 cameras in total out of 33.

Some you cannot get. The achievement only includes ones you can get. I'm stuck on 32/33 though.

Yeah, I can only get 32 / 33 too. It REALLY pissed me off!

Pictures of every camera. There are two pages.
Nice upload ^^ That could come in handy for new Portal players.

I was trying to go for the 33 again, but still only ended up with 25... Grrr...and I was looking really really hard! Oh, well, I'll attempt it again another day. Meh!

I am having a problem with the Camera Shy achievement also. I'm running Portal from the Orange Box that I bought on Steam. I am in the last room in test chamber 18 (the one with all the multi-level platforms) and, at this point, I have destroyed 29 cameras. When I get to this room and take this camera off the wall, the game will not give me credit for it. I am still showing only 29 cameras.
Does anyone know why this is happening? What can I do to get credit for this camera?

I tend to miss quite a few (I've gotten about 27), but I don't know where to find the others. Any tricky spots?

ive actually gotten this achievment on my first try, just taking a few quick scans around the area and if i see a camera on a portalable wall, i get rid of it, pretty simple for me
