Is this dust on the sensor? (image link)
"http://i26.tinypic.com/izw321.jpg"
I see the same spot no matter which lens I use so I'm pretty sure it's not the lens. This is a 20D. |

I'd recommend a large rubber bulb blower such as the 'rocket' blower, then a brush, a cheap nylon makeup brush works for me, then wet cleaning if it still needs it. -- Paul Furman www.edgehill.net www.baynatives.com all google groups messages filtered due to spam |

Sheesh, are you sure you couldn't post a smaller more heavily artifacted pic to try to make an assessment from? Dust, I don't think so. Looks like a round loop of trash, probably from velcro. I think I may see a few more, but's its hard to tell given this pic. At least he's not submitting it to UFO sites. Okay, yes, that's just an assumption. -- Blinky Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project -- http://improve-usenet.org Found: a free GG-blocking news *feed* -- http://usenet4all.se |

I find this posting extremely puzzling (says he, slightly tongue in cheek), as it appears to be from the same guy who used to be extremely opinionated in regard to his choice of which cameras would suit *everyone*, and continually pointed them to his (highly unbiased (grin)) site.. wasn't it dslrinfo.com? Yes, I'm sure that was a Mr Scharfe, but perhaps he can correct me.. Anyway, I find it astonishing that a person who proclaimed such an intimate knowledge of the DSLR industry cannot tell what is dust on a sensor, and posts a tiny little pic to try to get help with same... But to answer the question, my opinion is yes, of course it is dust, if it appears on many pictures. I wonder what else he thought it might be? Some sort of large scale fuzzy pixel defect? And yes, if it appears no matter what lens, I reckon *I too* (after some careful consideration and a few sleepless nights), would eliminate the lens as the problem... (O: |

I'd recommend a large rubber bulb blower such as the 'rocket' blower, then a brush, a cheap nylon makeup brush works for me, then wet cleaning if it still needs it. I tried the blower, to no effect, which is why I wasn't sure if it was dust or not. I'm going to take it in to the local (only) real camera store to get it cleaned, as I'm not comfortable doing a wet cleaning myself. They charge $45, and they do a large number of cleanings (they said that they're backed up for a week with sensor cleanings). |

Looks like dust or dried water spots to me and there are many such spots visible in the blue sky. If a blower doesn't remove them a wet cleaning is in order. "SMS" wrote in message ...
