AP compares Pentax K5 with Nikon and Sony A55
Sensor Comparison Most photographers believe that the sensor is the most important factor in image quality, so what happened when Mat Gallagher compared three DSLRs that all use the same 16.2-million-pixel unit? To cut a long story short, A3 prints looked the same, but the Pentax and Nikon were sli...

Don't use any old cloth! You could damage your sensor! Go to SRS and get some of these ASAP. Steve

These are for use on your sensor only, you may also have dust in the viewfinder like me but as long as they don't affect your photos then don't worry about them. They will just be an annoyance.

How do you clean a camera ?
It depends on where the dust is. I guess it is on the mirror or sensor. If this is the case I would keep a wet clean as mentioned by Steve as the last option. The first option would be the inbuilt sensor shaker. Next I would try an Arctic Butterfly.

How do you clean a camera ?
I was a little wary of touching the sensor..So have yet to go down that road, I can see the dirt in the viewfinder and marks are transfered to my images..

The dust in your viewfinder is not transfered onto your images...it is the dirt on the sensor that does that!....you need a sensor clean!:D

How do you clean a camera ?
If you can see it in the viewfinder and in your pictures then it must be on the lens. That depends on whether the marks in the viewfinder match those on the image. It could be a dirty viewfinder and a dirty sensor/lens.

How do you clean a camera ?
In any event, neither mirror nor focusing screen should be wiped with anything, They are very fragile and easily damaged. The sensor can be cleaned with the appropriate products, but should not be necessary very often. In fact, I have never cleaned a sensor and have only ever used a rocket blower...

How do you clean a camera ?
If it appears on your picture, then the dirt is on your sensor. It could be in the lens if you're using very high f-numbers (f22 ish) but those would still look more translucent more like blobs then a real spot if they are big enough to see...

How do you clean a camera ?
I have noticed something strange. I used to get quite a bit of muck on my K20D sensor. Stuff that was greasy end needed a wet wipe. I have yet to clean any of my K-5s sensors Even the one I had replaced that ad about 20,000 on the clock. I haven't changed my in the field lens changing Habits.

definite blob or mark. That's what i meant with translucant blob like these but you can only see them at very high f-numbersif you're using f/8 i doubt you would see anything that's on a lens. http://mansurovs.com/files/2010/07/Grease-on-front-of-the-lens.jpg http://mansurovs.com/files/2010/07...

How do you clean a camera ?
What happens if you change the lens? That ought to solve where the gunge is! Try the 50/1.7 from your ME Super as those are very simple to check for contamination (just hold it up to the light or shine a torch through it, there are fewer places for muck to hide in these little primes than in the mod...

Hoya filters - Comparisons of Quality?
UV also does nothing to your photo's because UV is already filtered by most lens coatings and also by the filter infront of the sensor so it's quite useless...

Hoya filters - Comparisons of Quality?
then you have no protection. The front element and the coatings today (also 30 or 40 years ago) are designed to take a beating. Also any filter will degrade the image quality, there is no escaping that even if you buy the best (if you see it is another thing though ;)). I always show this movie...
