Neil is a journalist who needs to recover his interviews and footage of the outbreak. The net café near the top side of the map has the Notes that he needs. Bring a heavy supply of weaponry, because the enemies are thick up there. Fight or run to the café, and then look on the second floor (around back) to get in. There’s a door you can pick, but listen for approaching Infected while you get it open.
Do NOT enter the café quickly. Strafe into the room so that you see the Bomber that’s happily waiting to detonate on you, then back out immediately to avoid getting killed by the blast. Once it’s dead, come back in, shut the door, and search. There’s a Note, a Statue, and the specific Notes that Neil needs.
The Camera is next. Whew. It’s on the overpass with about 300 Infected. That’s going to be special. Approach the overpass from deeper into the island. It’s too high to climb to from the waterline, so swing around and get onto the overpass further in. This is much easier if you have the “Vault” Agility skill; it allows you to run along the overpass and leap over the Infected that get in your way. Otherwise, stay on the cars and buses and use Firecrackers as distractions if you get overrun.
The car you want is black. It’s on the east side of the overpass, and it has broken mostly through the guard rails. Thus, it’s fairly easy to spot. Use a Firecracker to lure Infected away from the vehicle, and then try to open the trunk. When the car falls into the water, wait on higher ground, talk to Neil by radio, and then dive after his camera. It’s still in the car’s trunk at the bottom of the water. Swim down, get it, and then return to Neil with your prize!
