Who carries the sensor cleaning tools? Or, can I use a homemade setup?
I think its time to clean my sensor and dont ant to toouch it until I get the proper tools.

TIA

might be able to get some idea from there. but I rather send it to canon to do it if your warranty is still good and you can live without it for a week or so.

Damn. It seems like we keep going over the same ground, time and time again.

I use a simple Q-tip cotton swab that has been barely dipped in lens cleaner.

Works good. Lasts a long time.

B&H won't ship the Eclipse solution. I got mine from WB Hunt's, http://www.wbhunt.com, but they were out of the 100-pack of Pec*Pads. Luckily the Eclipse bottle comes with 10 Pec*Pads so I can clean it at least once.

it's pricey, but if you go to http://www.photosol.com (the makers of the stuff), they have a listing of who sells it. I got mine from a store in Columbus, OH. They ship the eclipse solution, however they won't ship it over night - ground only.

Works great - lasts long.... don't tell me you already have dust bunnies. Didn't you just get the camera like 3 weeks ago?
