shit dude, that sucks. I was thinking destroyed camera though, that would be worse. anyway, there are a few sites that offer guides on cleaning it yourself, but unless you're prepared to spend time getting the right equipment and then even more time cleaning it very very carefully I'd just go with bringing it to a Canon dealer or whatever and having them clean it. plus if they screw up I assume they cover the damage fee. good luck.

nice man, I'd be freakin scared to do that. I have to get a blower though, I have some dust on the focusing plastic thing with all the squares on it in the camera. doesn't affect shots, but it's annoying to look at.

yeah! Take it to your nearest photo place (like ritz) and have them clean that shit. They'll probably have to send it out. Don't touch the sensor! Leave that shit alone and let the shop handle it.

Rocket blower.

Sensor brush + canned air if that doesn't work.

PecPads and Eclipse for really stubborn marks.


Clean it regularly and you'll have far less problems. I've had my D200 about 18 months and only ever needed to use the rocket blower on it so far.

Just take it to the shop instead of running the risk of voiding your warranty

you gotta blow it off with a blower bulb.they're liek 10 bucks at a camera store. theres a thing in your menu called 'sensor cleaning' it disables the sensor electronicly to reduce static, and raises the mirror so its straight through to the sensor and blow blow it off gently with the bulb.
