Re: Help, marks on pic's?

I use a Delkin Digital Duster cleaning kit which has a small vacuum cleaning brush; and if that doesn't work the kit also has swabs and fluid.

I find the advantage of the low suction brush is that you can clean around the inside of your camera and remove future problems before they occur. There is a risk that air blowers just move the dust around.

Previously I have used the suction pipe from a domestic vacuum cleaner but this has to be used with extreme care and just hovered over the camera so the suction is very low inside the camera.

The dust shakers which are part of some modern cameras do appear to considerably reduce the amount of cleaning but sooner or later a full clean still needs attention. Especially if you keep changing lenses in dusty conditions, or with pollen in the air.
