Camera care

I'm just making conversation today.

What are you using to clean the exterior of your camera? Personally I have a micro fiber rag with a light non ammonia cleaning solution on it. I use a small brush to get in the cracks.

How about you?

Hand soap on a damp soft cloth followed with a damp soft colth ... nothing fancy.

No matter how fast I go, there's always someone slower in front of me.

We are supposed to clean the outside? Hell I only worry about the inside of it. I blow out the mirror box first then lift the mirror gnetly and blow out behind the mirror, then it is mirror lock and blow off the sensor filter. I do it all with a rocket blower. To some who read this and have never cleaned the inside out do not use compressed air ever to clena the dust out, it will make it dirtier.
