Those nasty dust spots on a digital sensor


Hi Folks, I shoot with a Nikon D-70 and love it, except for those dust spots that love the sensor. I keep the camera clean, but just like relatives you don't like they keep coming back for an extended visit. I had a pro clean the sensor. After spending $82.00 the sky was clear again. Now the rascals are starting to re-visit my sensor. I've read about do it yourself cleaning kits. Are they safe for the sensor in the hands of a mechanically challenged person like me, or do I get to see the pro again and pay him so many visits that he can buy a house on the Florida Keys? Suggestions anyone...PLEASE! Thanks, PS Fleming

  I ordered a cleaning set from Copper Hill. So far all I've had to use was the Sensor Sweep and it worked fine for me and the purchase won't bankrupt you.
