Yeah, I should of left those couple of dust bunnies stay on my sensor. As usual I wanted everything perfect so I used the rocket blower 1st., than the wet clean (made it 100x worse) another couple of wet cleans (not much better) than the sensorklear pen (best of the bunch) but now I also have dust in the viewfinder (obviously from using the rocket blower). I took out the focus screen, blew it off several times (a little better) blew out the chamber and more dust on the sensor. Used the sensorklear again and finally ended up with about two little dust bunnies, not much better than when I started but left with dust in the viewfinder that I never had! I decided to try the dust delete data method and it works like a charm. I wish I would of left well enough alone and tried this in the first place and I would still have a nice clean viewfinder!

Sounds like me, same camera, same attempts. Camera sent to the Canon Factory Service Center in NJ last week, but the Post Office tried to deliver it on Saturday, they are closed over the weekend and today, sucks!. Will cost $30.00 to clean the sensor, but I hear they do a good job. I will be very careful changing lenses after that.
