Title: Fluff on my Sensor
Post by: Dowser on March 09, 2011
Does anybody know anything about servicing a DSLR? 

My Nikon D80 is currently out of action for scenic shots with nice skies because there seems to be dust/fluff on the sensor that appears in all of my shots  >:(

Is it possible for me to clean the camera myself or is it a Nikon Service Centre job with an nice big hefty bill at the end of it?

Any advice offered will be greatly appreciated  :)

I'm sure you have used google but I did find this, probably no use

Easily fixed Mr. Dow.  I've dry cleaned and wet cleaned my sensor on several occasions and its easy once you get over the initial fear ;)  You want to catch up some night to sort it out?

That would be great Suspect... I need to get the beast back in action if I want to come close to winning next months photo comp  ;)

We can arrange something by PM

Thanks
