Dust on Camera Sensor
Can anyone give a little advice please we have a Canon 400D diigtal SLR which came with a 18-55 lens so we thought because we had heard of problems with dust on sensors we would buy a 18-200 lens so we wouldn't have to keep changing the lens and by doing so we would cut down the risk of dust on the sensor well we have a small black spot on our piccies the lens has been cleaned we have swopped back to the 18-55 and still it is there so now we were wondering what is the best way to rid ourselves of this problem would it be best to send the camera away to have it cleaned or buy something to do it ourselves so any advice will be greatly recieved ...You wouldn't believe how careful we have been with this camera and it's lenses it really is annoying....
Thanks Sue

Thanks Nero I have just googled it (sensor cleaning DSLR) and there is a product called Dust aid platignum which is a bit like a swab and it looks quite good it does say that to have it proffesionally cleaned could cost up to £150 and this product is around £20 what do you think????18-10-2009, 07:56 PM

I am really p***d off about it Nero if we hadn't been so careful with it as we have only changed the lens the once if we had been changing it willy nilly I could have understood it but it is virtually wrapped in cotton wool we are so careful with it as it cost us so much money .. The Camera though I wish we had took it back it was only me telling my husband it would be ok that stopped him going back as when we bought it (from Curry's) when we got it home although all boxed up nicely we think it was pre used as the battery was charged and all the date and time was set on the camera and also the little back up battery was in place too ... A couple of weeks after buying it we bought the sigma 18-200 os lens for it but the firswt 50 or so photos with the sigma lens have no evidence of dust but now it has I don't know if you are familiar with EOS cameras but it does a sensor cleaning thingy every time you finish using it and hubby wonders if this particle could have been in there and only just adhered to the sensor...18-10-2009, 11:17 PM
