| I sent my D50 off to Nikon to have the sensor cleaned. I got it back 19
days later. They had successfully removed the 6 spots of dirt. They also
put 9 spots on a different part of the sensor. I sent it back to Nikon and
they removed the 9 spots. They replaced them with 2 spots and a smudge on a
different part of the sensor. Is this typical? What can I do about it?

Learn to do it yourself.
There are many methods, and much disagreement as to which method is best. Do
your own research.
I also have the D-50, love it. My favorite lens is the 18-200mm VR. |

While a good idea, I would think it would be better
to simply drill a hole in the back of the camera and
mount a windshield wiper motor with a sensor swab
on it inside to continuously clean the sensor. But
I do like your design Rita ... 
(ps - don't forget a vent or you will explode the camera
with all that gas going in and no place to go ,,, )

I am thinking of getting a cleaning kit. Can't imagine I can make a worse
job of it than Nikon. Is there any particular cleaning kit that you might
recommend? (I'm in the UK). >> Stay informed about: nikon sensor cleaning |

Dear Dijones,
I bought the materials for this from Copper Hill. Their prices are
much less than B&H or Adorama and the shipping is less. My kit
was successful on my D50, and you may have to do it many times
in succession to remove all specs of dust. The website is:
http://www.copperhillimages.com/index.php?pr=products
Hope this helps. Again, I use their products as do many
Nikonians - I bought these items:
wet/dry sensor kit, which includes the "Eclipse" solution,
pec pads, applicator, and also a brush that you use as per
the directions.
Good luck, D Gillilan

No problem - just use a 1 liter container, a recycle pump
and filter.
I had forgotten the rubber flap over the USB socket.
Good point.

Copper Hill gets a good name, but aren't they in the USA? Last time I looked
they only sent out to US and Canada.
