    Got Dust Bunnies?

    Yep, I have dust on my CCD. I just noticed it doing my cloud time lapse series.. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

    See those little dark spots on these? Thats dust on the CCD of my Nikon D70.

    So I found This tutuorial on cleaning the CCD.
    I think I might go for it and get it done.

    Anyone have experience cleaning a CCD?

    Edit: These cleaning products aren't cheap . Any advice?

    I seem to quite often get dust inside my 300d, even when im not changing lenses. Most of the time its just on the mirror and will be dislodged with a sharp blow. I haven't had to look into cleaning the sensor yet, but Im sure I will have to at some point. more info:

    all pretty much give similar tips.

    Thanks alty.

    I took the camera to Ritz. They blew it out with a blower similar to this for nothing and that fixed it.
    I bought the blower for $6.

    Case closed.

    I once used a can of air to get a speck out. It worked fine. Have to be careful to hold it so you don't spray the liquid out though.
