Hi Folks got a black spot showing in same place on all pictures more prominent in smaller apertures.
Any advice on best cleaning method for Canon 30D
Cheers

First thing I would try is using a rocket blower. If that doesn't shift it then I would try sensor swabs and eclipse fluid. I've used this method on my 350D and 30D and I've never had a problem.

Other options get mentioned later in the thread too.

As said above - Giottos rocket blower as a first step. it can do the job and is useful for intermediate cleaning even if it does not shift the stubborn spots.

RobertP's guide is what I have used the couple of times I have done my 350D and 40D - really does work a charm and not as frightening as you might think
