D2Hs Sensor Cleaning

Seems I have lots of dust on my sensor and using a blower doesn't seem to work anymore. Should I clean it myself or give it to a service and have it professionally cleaned?

Jetputt56, welcome to the Digital Grin.

Cleaning your own sensor is not difficult. I suggest that if you purchase the appropriate materials and take your time for the first time that you can easily do it yourself.

Take a look here for some basic information:

Ditto. I'm sure there are some people that just shouldn't be doing it, but it isn't a big deal at all. I can't imagine sending my cameras out every time a blower didn't "do the trick".

Here's my method, it always works quickly and easily for me.
