sensor, before
I just cleaned my image sensor for the first time. I was super nervous, 'cause everyone is always telling me that you can damage them so easily. However, the $75 per-cleaning cost of having it done in-house at a local camera shop, or the prospect of being without my camera for 2-6 weeks if I do it through my best-buy plan is just unacceptable.
With some keen advice from my fellow flickr friends, I found copper hill images and bought their mega dslr kit. Tonight, I used it for the first time.
Although this test is far from perfect, you will plainly see a difference. I didn't get all of the dust off the sensor this first time, but I chalk that up to going extra easy to lessen the chances that I'd do more harm than good. Tomorrow, I'll know for sure how well I did, but the system sure seems to work, and the instructions are very helpful. Woohoo!
*note: these photos are just the blue channel, as that's where you could best see the scum all over my sensor.
