I'll have a go at it myself, following instructions online. If it doesn't fix it I'll have a look at taking it somewhere, don't fancy paying £30-40 when I could try and do it first. Cheers

I'll have a proper look at it tonight and sort out what I've got and what I need. Cheers

I've already got some cleaning solution and a pipette type blower that came with the camera. Found an article with a step by step guide. I'll have a go! Thanks again.

Cheers everyone. Really appreciate the replies. I'll have a go at cleaning it tonight and see if I can sort it. Sounds a bit scary going into the camera! Haha! Thanks Mark

Thanks. I've never cleaned the sensor, or anything on or in the camera before. Any basic advice? What tools are the right tools? Cheers Mark

Thanks. I'll have a go at doing that this evening and do a proper test. If it isn't the lens what is it likely to be? And how can I sort it? I'm going to South Africa for 3 weeks shortly and need to fix it. Cheers Mark

Everything was the same, it shows up every time with one lens, which is a second hand one that came with the second hand camera, not sure how old it is) and never with the other brand new lens.

Cheers everyone, I've got a good idea where I'm going and what I want now. After a few probing questions To a few sellers I may have got what I need. I'll be back on to ask about other lenses in the future no doubt! Thanks a lot! Mark

Thanks, I've been looking on eBay so I've messaged the sellers to ask about the camera history and shutter counts, not had anything back yet. What would be the main differences between the two lenses? Cheers

Hi all, I'm looking to buy a second hand canon 30D camera to get myself started. I've seen a few for sale with different lenses. I don't know much about lenses yet so was after a bit of advice. The two main lenses I've seen being sold with the cameras are an 18-55mm and 35-80mm. Which would be...

Thanks everyone, I bought an old gorgeous 35mm Pentax a few years ago but managed to mis load the film and just generally make a mess of trying something I've always wanted to do. I always thought a digital dlr was our of reach due to the cost and my computer was on its last legs. The computer...

Hi all, I'm looking at getting my first DSLR to see if I can get into it, learn the basics and move on from there. I've got an initial budget of £200 and was looking at maybe a cannon 30D after reading things on here and other places. I can get a used one on eBay for that kind of money. What...
