Alright, public apology time... in the past I may have questioned deapee's logic of sticking tape to his sensor to remove dust.
Well, I decided to give it a try, low and behold it worked! Better than the copperhill method.
I've been converted.
deapee, you the man! |

I spend the 300.00 for the special senor cleaning kit.... Even then was at first scared to try it, but it worked like a charm.

And people keep dissing us and whackos for thinking Canon should have put the dust removal system on their 30D and all new cameras.

| I've been using the copperhill for 3-4 years, but this turned out to be a very quick, easy, and effective way for cleaning... keeping a roll of scotch tape in the camera bag now. |

300 bux!!! geez...
My buddy got this and says it works great, for like 50 bones you get maybe a dozen cleanings or so.
Cheaper than direct on Amazon for some reason.

If I was designing a sensor, I'd try and figure out how to make one you could clean with spit and a T-shirt ... |

Seems like the invention of "sensor tape" would be good about now. New branch for 3M or something, a sort of tape specially designed not to leave residue on a camera sensor. Would be ideal for field cleanings and less scary than the plain generic scotch variety.

| What about Magic Tape, the cloudy stuff that doesn't grip so hard? |
