| | | Sensor cleaning advice please
Hi all.
Looking for advice on cleaning the sensor on DSLR.
I haven't cleaned it as yet, and as far as I am aware it doesn't need cleaning but was wondering how to go about it. I have heard you can get a dust blower to do this, is this the best method and are they easy to come by and do they cost very much.
Thanks
Ollie |

There is a huge blower that was recommended to me
The giotto rocket air blower at around £7 from warehouse express part no.GAA1900
