Noticed (again) the other day that my A7II was pretty dirty. Was out taking some photos and the light hit the camera just right and I went 'ewww'. :-)
Grabbed some cleaning supplies today and worked it over. The sensor is fine, it was the exterior of the camera. Every nook and cranny was just plain dirty. The EVF, all the edges, around the control wheels, behind the LCD, etc. Just yuck!
Can't remember the last time I actually cleaned the exterior of any of my cameras, other than a cursory swipe of the LCD.
Now I need to check my other camera bodies too. They shouldn't be quite so bad. They get special treatment still. The A7II is my creative, manual lens, body, when I just feel like walking around and taking something for fun. :-)
How's your camera looking? |

| Pristine. Always. It's a thing that goes clear back to my view camera days... Now, of course, "camera" = drone 'n phone and those are easy to keep neat :-)clear |

Not so good. Thanks for the reminder -- it has been way too long. I have to go dig up the swabs and maybe refresh my memory on how to do it by watching a YouTube video or two. |

Yeah, the sensor is important, but I was more shocked by the grime in all the nooks and crannies on the camera body in general. :-) |
