Canon Sensor cleaner not working right

[Pirate Neilsouth]

Took it to a specialist today , it had 37 dust spots on it some have been on there for ages it took him ages to get it off... But the bad news is he tells me the sensor cleaner is faulty as it's not cleaning it properly and he recommended me to get canon to replace it..

If it's under warranty I'd go for it, failing that join the rest of us back in the maual sensor cleaning days! I'd guess that Canon won't fix it for a small some of money!

Btw whats a better canon camera up from the eos 400D ?

Pmsl no...

I had a feeling it wasn't working right for awhile , never cleaned any of the dust off when it appeared just made things worse. It was a proper camera specialist dealers and sensor repair shop!

40d is an upgrade

How dare you!!!!

I haven't had to touch my sensor now I have a self cleaning one on the 40d.... and I bet it's VERY glad!!!

With so many peeps suffering the dreaded dust , I 've been thinking of investing in one of these. Maybe I'll get a new business start up grant. Would any of you be interested in my services? http://cache.valleywag.com/assets/resources/screenclean.swf

Do any of these sensor cleaning gizmos work? I've just recently had to clean my 400D as it was covered in dust :shrug:

Maybe I should return it under warranty too

I have the Visible Dust brushes, and they do work. Having said that I seem not to have a dust problem, only using the brushes twice on my 20D and only one on the 5D.

This site http://www.cleaningdigitalcameras.com/ has some reasonable information and a host of links that are worth a read for anyone nervous about attempting their first scrubbing session.

I've not seen it referred to before but sorry if it's a repetition.

The automatic sensor cleaner in my 40D just moves dust from the sensor to the focus screen
