Dust Bunnies seeking a new home! I've had my Canon 20D since the beginning of the year. Because of my travels and lens changing I've had a couple of dust bunnies make their home on my sensor - or the filter protecting it. After reading my manual and checking every site on the web about cleaing it...I tackeled the problem. Grrr... I used the liquid that came with it and it was 'ok'. I was very careful. I also cleaned the mirror and its fine. Well, to be sure all was ok, I went out and took a test shot and found...my dust bunnies had babies!!! Ok, I can clone my way out of it most of the time, no problem, but it does take time I'd prefer to be taking photos. Because I live in the West Indies the costs to mail my camera to the US for professional cleaning is huge. Shoot, its $50 US to mail a letter to the US! Can someone tell me if it is better if I clone my way out of it until I return to the US in a few months or... Accepting all help. Thank you, thank you. .A.

Hi Adrina: One of the best products on the market for cleaning a digital sensor and the mirror chamber inside the camera body is made by 'VisibleDust'. I'm enclosing a link to Rob Galbraith DPI where there is a lengthy article on their latest sensor cleaning gizmo as well as thier complete product line.

Hello Adrina, What did you use to swab the sensor with? All the best, Pete

Pete is right. Most fluids, including the cleaner you would normally use an a lens surface, can be detrimental to a sensor, and each subsequent 'bath' results in more of a build up of residue. Sorry I forgot to paste the link in my last post, so here it is; http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/content_page.php?cid=7-7894-8331
