Cleaning a sensor is childs pay if you have the right tools. I've no idea what these people charge but I would bet return on investment in the tools (Rocket blower, Arctic Butterfly, Pec-Pads + Eclipse-2 fluid) is very fast.

Get the tools and do it yourself, just be careful.

#1 for me, it has better colour rendition and is more contrasty, but the difference is so minimal, I'd sell the one that is likely to make the most money by selling it, or keep the one that is likely to make most money from selling the photo's it produces.

Not much to choose between them IQ wise.

Hope that helps.

Now it makes sense, thanks.

I don't think I'd feel comfortable being 1Km away from my camera left out in the open.

I'd probably need a GPS to find it again.

Same day? I'd expect it to be done while I wait. It's not a difficult or time consuming task.

Not a bad series. Shot #3 displays the typical doughnut shaped bokeh in the tree at top right.

Can't give you any focussing tips. I had a Tamron SP 500mm lens for years and never used it much. I sold it some time ago. I found the constant f8 too limiting.

I like the composition of #2. I would have liked it more if the canooist was a little higher in the blank sea space.

Is he on his way to Panama by any chance?

Link shows advert is archived.

What camera system have you changed to? I thought you were still a Pentax user.

I'm glad that you finally found the solution.

Oddly enough, that's the same solution I found for my *istD 2 years ago when a set of 4 cost about £25. They are considerably cheaper now.

I don't have any AA powered cameras any more but Sanyo Eneloops are in all of my flashes and anything else that uses AA or AAA batteries.

I don't know that model but is it maybe SD only, and are you trying to get an SDHC card to work in it?

Do any cards work in the camera, or do they all show the same error, yet work OK in another camera?

I'm just guessing. A bit more info about the card might help.


EDIT: I just checked the spec. and it should take SD or SDHC cards.
