I've had three Pentax dSLR's. The first was a k100d and was a real dust bug. This body had no shake, so you had to clean the sensor manually. After doing much reading I realised the most cost effective way to clean the sensor was to purchase a small quantity of isopropyl alcohol from a pharmacist. W...

Phil, thats really helpful thanks. Ive only had the k-r since Jan and am having the same experience you've had with your K-x. Ive got some isopropyl alcohol in the garage which ive used for cleaning lenses before so now i just need some wipes and a dust blower. The vaccuum cleaner isnt a very goo...

I had a K200d for 2 years. Shot around 50.000 photos with it. Occasional rocket blower treatment did the job in most of the times. One time, I had some real tough stains on the sensor, so I bought Green Clean wet % Dry cleaning swabs. It does it's job quite nicely. On my current K-5, I just blow ...

Come on guys you can't damage a camera with the stuff that ive been using. If i thought that i would never have tried the hairdryer or fleecy hat. I do take care of my kit, still got my 1st ever digital camera and it still works fine! D

Sensor cleaning?
All this has got me wondering. I just got my K-r (love it) and immediately did a dust check. Found a spot, did a clean, it was gone. Anyway, I was wondering about the canned air that people buy for "cleaning" cameras. Before I waste my money, is it recommendable?

Sensor cleaning?
Personally I would recommend against using these. They are fine for the outside of a camera or the front of a lens, but the air comes out at a very high speed and can cause damage. You can also get the propellant chemicals coming out with the air which would concern me. You are far better wit...

I never use any sort of blower - all that does is blow the dirt around in the body. Canned air is not a good idea generally. I use an Arctic Butterfly with excellent results. I have never needed anything else. Why do you say don't bother about an Arctic Butterfly David?

Hi Gwyn I have one and it just was a let down and certainly failed many times so I actually gave up on it I think its expensive for what (in my case) it fails to deliver so in effect it just didnt work
