Sensor cleaning??

[Sabrina_De_Winter]

I've cleaned mine with pure alcohol on a microfiber tissue for photo-camera's.
Don't add to much liquid on it, just a little bit alcohol is enough.

Worked well for me

I can't find my air blower anywhere so I've had a order a new one. Should be here soon so I will give it a go when it gets here.

And if you could find it anywhere, would you just point it into your camera & spray whatever it's been breathing into that precious space? If you find it, stick it in the bin. Keep the new one in a ziploc bag, or something where it can't take muck in.

Have you had a bad experience Chris, or heard some bad stuff about the blowers. Other people see to rate them.
I must admit, I may get it done professionally, to make sure it's done properly.

I find an Artic Butterfly does the job best. Never use anything else since.

I've mostly used a blower but I've used the wet swabs and don't care for them. My favorite way is with a special brush and vellum paper. It came in a kit with the wet swabs. If the blower doesn't do the job, the dry brush will. You stroke it on the vellum paper to build up a charge. Then gently brush just the tips of the hairs across the filter. (You're not actually cleaning the sensor). It works very well.

I'm with OldBoy on this one Artic butterfly and for stubborn marks a lens pen. For many years I used the wet method,

I started using the lens pen when I bought my Canon 5D in 2006 as I was forever having to clean it. (probably the dirtiest camera ever made) but fabulous photos.
