[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 94411, member: 9240"] Thanks, Gents. I did the sensor cleaning myself after scouring the interknot thoroughly first to make sure that I did it correctly and with the proper tools. I knew about avoiding compressed air, but what I wouldn't have thought of was not to blow on it myself, but the moisture in ones own breath can damage the sensor (never huff in there). I finally turned to my brother, a pro news photographer, who gave me the same advice I'd already found, but then said that between Canon's "Delete Dust Data" tool and the techs at work he's never had to clean one himself. Elitist!! LOL I bought the Eclipse solution and swaps in kit form on Amazon (had a bulb blower already) and it did the trick on the first try. We'll see how long that lasts. BTW, I'd love to see Nikon come up with a tool along the lines of Delete Dust Data. Very powerful. I know Capture NX2 has a dust removal tool, but I don't feel like forking over the change for it with Lightroom, PSE11 and the other Nik tools on my Mac (since Capture NX2 is a Nik tool I wish they'd move the dust option into Dfine or Sharpener). Sure, I can do it in Lightroom, but I find the the spot removal tool there to be limited. [/QUOTE]
