Digital Home Thoughts: Dealing With DSLR Sensor Dust

"Digital SLR sensors are magnets for dust. Cleaning a digital sensor is nerve-wracking and risky, with enough methods, products, and gimmicks on the market to flummox a rocket scientist. And that, dear friends, is why you have Photojojo. We're breaking it down right now: what works, what doesn't, and whether the annoyance of having dust spots is worth the trouble of cleaning them"

Sensor dust is a real problem for landscape and travel photographers. Even though most new cameras come equipped with anti-dust shake mechanisms, dust still accumulates on the sensor. This site has the best and most informative post I have seen on the methods you can use to get rid of dust. It does a great job of outlining the steps you can use to combat dust accumulation, from the easiest to the most effective. I have used blowers before, but I have never had the intestinal fortitude to clean my sensors with the swabs. A mistake can cost you dearly!
