whats all this about nonsense about locking up the mirror to clean inside?

canon guys are serious fanboys and get a thorough job done

us? giottos, sensor swab, dust- all nonsense..do it once and do it right!

if it was done, sorry, saw it a while ago and saw a post about cleaning the sensor so I thought id let others know how canon guys do it. were not as advanced as canon and dont have their level of ater protection. so only do this with canon gear.

That's a horrible video. The soap will remove essential lubrication from parts in the lens and body, causing premature wear. He should use a dust-free bowl too when soaking.

That is awful even if it is just a canon! Lol I wonder if any of it will work again, if it worked in the first place!

Actually the guy was just washing his hands of Canon and going to Nikon.

Haaaaa, well done

Blue is NOT the right color for the Bowl Wash...Translucent Red Bowls help remove the UV residue, and the CP shadows left on the lens....

Good thing us Nikon owners use 3500-psi pressure washers.

But, wasn't it proven that using a red bowl for cleaning a Canon cause a chemical reaction due to the dye used for the red color. I know I heard it somewhere. Besides, was the soap an approved soap from canon? Otherwise it isn't under warranty.

I use a sand blaster on my cameras every 6 months. Whether they need it or not.

Water and soap are for the faint hearted. I clean up the gunk with WD40 and put a generous amount of turtle wax to make the body body shine. ; p

A glass bowl with distilled water is recommended. Some people say apple cider vinegar is a good organic way to kill microbes too. And no gloves? What was he thinking?!

The heck with soap and water. Try beer and pretzels..... it's AMAZING how good things look when you're done!

Frankly I think it's much easier with parts cleaner, it really gets the gunk off! Just get a wire brush and dunk the camera in parts cleaner or gas if that's all you have, and brush the hell out of it! With a little elbow grease you can clean it right down to the magnesium frame!

vinegar is a great idea... won't leave streaks on your sensor

Great video, but he forgot to say how long it goes in the dryer for. The standard 30 minutes on high heat?

I put mine in the microwave for 30 seconds on high power to dry off. Works a treat.

Sad part is, somebody will see this and actually try it.

It's okay; that person wasn't long for this world anyway.

Only if you use:



It keeps your colors sensitive.

Use the dishwasher next time. Then tumble dry.
