Sensor cleaning

The dust bunnies have attacked my camera. Do y'all clean cameras?
Thanks

I bought the Copper Hill kit and it's easy. The first time you clean your sensor you might be a little nervous, but after that you will realize how easy and quick it is. I remember thinking to myself "is that all there is to it?" Here's a link.

Sorry Mike,

We don't repair or clean cameras at all.

We use a product called Photographic Solutions on used digital cameras. They make a series of swabs and a solution that works great. However, prior to even touching the sensor, we attempt to clean it without touching it using a Giottos Rocket Blower (not canned air) and 75% of the time that actually will get the offending dust off without physically touching the sensor. We also sell other sensor repair products (including Arctic Butterfly). But the only one that I can personally attest to using are the PSI products.

You can also contact Professional Camera Repair or All Camera Service in Houston and they can do it for you. Cost is typically around $80 for the service but they actually clean the entire interior of the camera (not just the sensor) which is important as there is more dust on and around the mirror that will eventually migrate to the sensor due to the small static electrical charge the sensor creates.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Mike
