Cleaning?

12 years 10 months ago #6357 by GregW
I have never had my Cannon 10D cleaned professionally, and have taken over 20K photos. I can continue to keep cleaning up background (e.g. sky), but that is getting old. Any suggestions? Is it worth sending it to the manufacturer, or should I look into doing it myself?

I know a professional who recommends a "Lenspen" Digital Cleaning Combo Kit for lenses, and another who uses the "Giotto Rocket Blower" for the sensor before every "big shoot"; however, both of these were over a year ago. And, I know another professional who recommends NEVER touching a lens with anything.

I have never cleaned my Cannon 10D either; so I'm in the same position.

Anyone else have ideas?

Greg,
You should be able to find a local camera shop in the Denver area that can clean your camera's sensor. I would make a few phone calls
