[QUOTE="TedG954, post: 94408, member: 9701"] I'm not familiar with the D7000, but I have some experience with a dirty sensor on my D700. I over-sprayed canned air and oil spots appeared on the sensor filter. I took the camera to a local shop and they charged me $53 and told me [I]it might need to be cleaned again[/I]. I wasn't too happy with that answer, and sure enough I could still see a couple of spots, but I wasn't going to pay the same guy another $53. I decided to try an authorized Nikon repair shop a little further away. The technician there did the work, told me it required 6 cleanings to clear up the problem, and if anything showed up within a month, I could bring it back for a free re-cleaning. The cost was the same $53, but this time, no spots could be detected. THAT was good service. So, I have two suggestions: 1) [I][U]NEVER[/U][/I] use canned air to clean the sensor filter, and 2) Be sure the technician commits to cleaning it until [I][U]all[/U][/I] the spots are removed. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
