stuff on brand new Canon Sensor?
A friend of mine who is moving into digital photography from film is horrified to see "stuff" like water marks and "dodads" on his images. He's a profes
sional and knows how to treat his gear. It's a brand new Canon D5 Mark II - anyone else heard of stuff on a brand new sensor?? I asked him to double check his lenses as it seemed unlikely to me that it was the sensor... what say you gurus??
Lynn:huh

It would be awfully nice if your friend could post a couple of images with links to the full sized images. If there truly is a problem then they should either consider returning the camera or cleaning the sensor.
Depending on how and where the camera was purchased, like maybe it was purchased at a store where it was previously demonstrated, that could lend a clue as to the source of the contamination.
It is so easy to clean sensors, and it is so important to do so occasionally, that if the camera is otherwise a good copy, maybe a simple cleaning is all that is required? We have a few threads that describe the process and make it easy.
Again, I encourage you to invite your friend into our forums and we can help.

Hi Ziggy!! yes I do keep inviting him.. hopefully he will join us one day.. he's a great landscape photographer. Anyhow... I suggested he change lenses yet again and see.. and it was not the sensor.. I truly did not think it was as it's a brand spanking new one.... thanks for replying.
