Ok...About a month ago I posted to forums saying "I scratched my sensor using Copperhill cleaning method". I posted some shots...took responsibility and moved on. The scratch is at the top and can only be seen on high apps and does not bother me.

Now...without even cleaning I see another scratch...



This photo has no editing done to it...

I tried cleaning and it will not clean. I can see it on the sensor with the naked eye! HOW DID THIS GET THERE???? ARGHHHHHHHHH....

My cam is doomed !!!!!!!!

Jeez! How did you scratch it without even trying to clean it and messing up? I'm never letting you hold my D200! :-)

I think it's a self-destruct program in your D70, timed to scratch itself when the D80 is released. Time to succumb to the forces that be, my friend.

Are you sure that is a scratch... looks kinda like a smudge or streak.

At first I thought it was a smudge...(but how would that have gotten there?)...the I tried cleaning it off with Copperhill but it did not budge!..

...this baby is visible at almost all appatures.!!!!

If I can't get rid of it...I'll order a D80 and get it sometime next year....

...BUT I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHERE THAT SCRATCH CAME FROM!!!!

That sucks.. Did you try the scotch tape method that Deapee has posted about? I used it on mine, it worked pretty well. It did leave some residue once, but I cleaned it again and it came off.

I doubt it is a scratch, i had one like that once and it took me 4 goes to clean the bugger off and i really had to give it some stick.
