Hang on a sec, surely a dSLR's sensor isn't on except when you take a photo, so there's no need to wait or even power off? (I always thought that part was 'cause the static on the sensor attracts dust)
I rarely remember to turn off camera when I change (mainly non-electronic mount) lenses, and I just trust the Olympus Dust Removal to cope with that


A DSLRs sensor will be charged for some time after powering off the camera. I don't know the actual amount of time, but it is similar to how old CRTs would have that static charge all over the screen after you shut them off. You know where you could slide your hand over the screen and feel the discharge?

That's what it is like with a DSLR sensor.

Hey guys, this guy is local for me here, and I talked to him about his products (he is a customer of mine) It sounds like he is very down to earth and put together a great package of products, I am going to try on of his kits next payday, I'll let you know how it works then. My 350d came with a huge hunk of poop on the sensor, and I've let a couple float in there on my own, we'll see if I can get rid of them all! The post-its, and scotch tape scare the heck outta me!


Yeah, scared my wife too, but sometimes you get a big peice of whatever that looks like it might scratch it if you wipe it. That's more scary to me. Probably best to use a good blower though.


Alright guys (and gals), payday has come and so has my cleaning kit from Nick at copper hill images. I got the "complete sensor cleaning kit" //www.copperhillimages.com/shopping/pgm-more_information.php?id=3 and I finally got the LARGE booger off of my sensor that has plagued me since day one with my 350D. I tried the hurricane blower, and the soft brush idea... both of these removed loose dust, butthis one was glued on it seemed! Well that is my firsthand success story for ya, I plan on ordering a "brush on the fly kit" //www.copperhillimages.com/shopping/pgm-more_information.php?id=2 next payday tp help prevent future infestations!
