To Steve and the group,

Yes, dust is a never ending problem on film or digital - especially if that digital sensor is charged! Just this week I supplied a link to this excellent site with its cleaning tutorial:

I use the PEC/Eclipse technique described, but rely mostly on a dry brush method from Visible Dust.

I know the sensor dirt issue is seemingly a never ending one, but I suppose it is a never ending problem with a DSLR. I shot an outdoor church scene today with lots of sky, and I am seeing LOTS of black spots in the sky area... some of them quite large. Is that sensor dirt? I have never attempted cleaning mine after about 2 years of use! I have always tried to keep lens changing to a minimum, and take the other precautions such as holding the camera down and being sure it is turned off before changing lenses. It appears though that now I will be forced to clean the sensor. I'm thinking some light blowing will not get it by the looks of the spots in my photo, it will probably need wiping with a solution.

I would really appreciate anyone telling again what their favorite product is to use for this job. I really don't want to have to send the camera off to Canon for what seems to be such a simple... yet delicate I know... procedure.
