"Camera's are great for exposing every little imperfection as "larger than life", and are hopeless at attempting to display shiny objects well. A guy visited the other day and had a look at the Silver/G5 block and was utterly amazed at how much shinier it was in real life in comparison to the pictures."

Use multisource lighting and you'll eliminate most of those problems. As for shininess, its more about clarity than anything, so use a tripod. Half of the impression of shininess in real life comes from being able to physically move/move around the shiny object.
