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.
 
iv got the same problem, only whenever i portal them of the wall, i dont get the exp. i just get GLaDOS telling me off and no "one down".
 
Some you cannot get. The achievement only includes ones you can get. I'm stuck on 32/33 though.
 
i was able to get 33/33, you might have missed one in the very first room u get the portal gun (blue), theres 3. otherwise look everywhere. ignore the non-portalbe wall cameras.

Ah, that might be what I'm missing. Thanks.
 
i looked very hard, i still only find 30/33, i (now) know that its pointless to go for the camera's that are on non portable walls but ive done this like 8 times and i still just get 30. can any one help? what am i missing?

^ I found a similar list invaluable when I did this achievement.
 
Nice upload ^^ That could come in handy for new Portal players.
 
I think I got 31 before reaching the party. That pissed me off.
 
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
 
i have a problem with that same achievment, but instead every time i take a camera off, it says i have 0 cameras off! i also bought the orange box
