My sister's son told her that if she tried to clean a DSLR sensor she would ruin it. Has to be cleaned by a shop. When I was giving her my old IstD, in intentionally left some dust on the sensor. I showed her how to check, then I cleaned the sensor with fluid and wipes. When I finished she said, "That's it?"
Yep. Brushes and blowers are even easier if they get the job done but a wet clean with Eclipse isn't a big deal.
I agree - I've done two wet cleans with a Delkin kit - it's not difficult.My sister's son told her that if she tried to clean a DSLR sensor she would ruin it. Has to be cleaned by a shop.

I like B&H too - was there last year. We were also in southern New Hampshire last year, where sales tax was zero, but I couldn't find an even half decent camera shop. There's also a big camera place in Boston, but, tbh it was hopeless.Quote:
It is tempting to stroll into B&H in 3 weeks and pick up a K20D there
I was there last month, beware; a trip to B&H can seriously damage your wallet, the place is fantastic. It is tempting to stroll into B&H in 3 weeks and pick up a K20D there

There's another one free on the web called 'Zero Assumption Utility' that I have used sucessfully. It was recommeded to me by Olympus, when my wife's cameras XD card got corrupted.

aminstar - that's an impressive bird!
There I was looking at the chimney - thinking how the DA* pic is so much sharper, colours more natural, etc., then I noticed ttk's post and can't stop looking at the mortar...

Interesting, I rather liked the B7 and the B6.
Having owned a A4 B6 (one of the last 190PS GmbH Sport versions rather than an S-line). I must admit I found the B6 Sports seats to be excellent, very comfortable and supportive.
In your opinion what did Audi do to make the B7 so bad?
BTW We now run a Leon FR TDI which is an excellent no nonsense car (I love driving it) but I couldn't compare the interior quality with that of our previous B6 Audi. The Leon is not bad but the A4 was top drawer IMHO
Rather off topic now... sorry. They really cut quality in the interior, especially soundproofing, carpets and seats. The B6 still had decent carpets - the B7 were just like the Leon (we had a previous model LCR).Interesting, I rather liked the B7 and the B6.

The B6 1.8T is much nicer IMHO than the B7 version. I had a 2.0 TDi, and can't understand why Audi would put such unrefined (and surpisingly uneconomical) engines in their cars. The poor seats were the killer for me in the end.

OK, some more information:
I have the box. The camera's in very good condition and I can also sell the 18-55 (Mk. 1) lens to go with it. The only visible signs of use are two small scratches on the LCD panel and you can see where lenses have been changed (the plating has worn slightly in places). Shutter count currently 8,460.

... says it all really. I have a GX-10 and the K10D, and I'm thinking about upgrading one of the cameras.
Please PM me if interested.
Thanks.

Skoda / Seat / VW / Audi now all share the same or similar dna. Floorpans, engines, running gear etc shared with different takes on the bodies. The other differences tend to be quality and robustness of interiors refinement levels, target markets etc.
Seat probably did the best at hiding the family links until the Exeo was launched (previous generation A4 with a re-skin mostly at the front and rear). Still it's a nice vehicle at a very competitive price for what is on offer
Sorry, but the B7 A4 on which the Exeo is built was the worst Audi I have ever had (and I've had seven...). As I see it, the interior quality and comfort suffered dramatic cost cutting - our Seat Leon was very comarable quality-wise. The Audi S-line seats are to be avoided at all costs.Skoda / Seat / VW / Audi now all share the same or similar dna. Floorpans, engines, running gear etc shared with different takes on the bodies.

It isn't cheap, however. I bought my printer for £ 225.00 (but the price has since gone up) and inks are £ 10.99 each (there are six cartridges - Owl type).
Friends/colleagues are amazed by the quality of the prints.
