Kodak - Down:but not quite out:
It's probably more accurate to say that a factory contracted to Kodak makes the 645D sensor. I'd imagine Pentax will be able to negotiate for the design and tooling in order to continue production.

How on earth did you manage to produce that damage? Even my Tshirt (usually filled with sweaty woodflour) wouldn't manage that Bernard

How to clean your sensor
How on earth did you manage to produce that damage? You mean the Brillo pad wasn't the best thing to use then? :shock: Just kidding, it's just a bit of editing. The converter is in perfect condition - I'll be selling it soon, in fact.

I've sold up and got a 5D MK II - forum recommendations?
I bought the Canon EOS 5D mark II as a kit in February 2010, from a retailer in Manchester. After a few days I noticed several small grey spots in the top left corner of the sensor, which the anti-dust mechanism wouldn't shift. Having assumed it was simply a little dust, and having taken the camera ...

Shooting directly into the sun can damage sensor?
Hi guys. If I point my camera directly into the sun and take a picture, does that damage my sensor? I am asking just because I just saw a clip on youtube saying we should never do so. Any idea?

I don't know the answer, but personally I would not take the risk.

The sensor is only exposed to the sun's image for the time of the exposure, and assuming the metering works that's likely to be a very short time indeed. There are millions of wide-angle shots with the sun in them, but I've never heard of sensor damage caused by that.

I'm sure that looking at the sun through a camera isn't good for human eyes either. Focusing the sun's rays onto a sensor will be like using a magnifying glass to set a piece of paper alight. Not good for anything but the briefest of exposures.

Contre jour, the french for, "against the light" is a very popular genre in photography. I would suggest searching on "Google" for specialist forums on the subject. Here is my atempt at "contre jour". by , on Flickr

Shooting against the light is one thing, but I would strongly advise always keeping the sun itself out of the frame (either with a bit of tree as seen above or just by aiming the camera differently). It definitely isn't good for your eyes and it won't do the sensor any favours either!

I wouldn't think shooting into the sun would harm your sensor, looking at the sun, nevermind through a camera is definitely not a good idea

P.S. thats a cracking shot snappy. Thank's paul. I think most shot's into the sun are taken at sunset or sunrise, thereby reducing any risk of damage to kit greatly. Common sense should tell most of us never to point, or even look at a bright mid-day sun.
