Good sensor cleaning kit 350d - now cleaned.

As above really this will be the first time I clean it so I want something newb friendly and simple to use.

Unless someone local wants to earn some beer money.

It's not all that hard todo, Just make sure you lock the Sensor in the options of the camera while you clean it, Just buy a small kit from a Photo shop

and watch some Utube videos

They want £45 to clean it for me which I thought was steep.

Any kit recommendations?

Dust wand is the one i've used, Not sure it would be the best kit, But it does the job, I got it from a local Photography shop in new mills.

Make sure you have a full batt when you start also, And a blower, If you're unsure just get a Pro todo it, As the kit will prob cost you more anyways.

Yeah that was my worry. I may have to pony up the cash

I think my sensor may have had a bit of dirt on it.

My friend provided it the kit as he used it on his camera, it looked like the Visible Dust 1.6x Sensor Cleaning Kit on amazon but with blue handled swabs instead.

It took a few attempts to get rid of all the dust but I am happy with the end results.

I am just doubling checking with him now, I will update this post with his response

Edit, I was right it was the Visible Dust Sensor Cleaning Kit, you just need to select the right size swabs for your sensor.
