Was it really a big concern? Or this issue was just overblown. I don't see it on my D600 except I go shoot a blank wall at f/22. I'm thinking of getting Copperhill Megakit. It's a little bit on the pricey side but you get 100 quick swipes so it's cheaper than other options in the long run, I think. Also since you get all 3 methods, air blow, dry and wet clean. I haven't cleaned my D7000 and i do see some spots on it already shooting at f/8 above.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361251099864607419.post-45923228508175538922013-05-28T17:05:36.418-07:002013-05-28T17:05:36.418-07:00OMD dose not have a mirror.

One major advantage that MILC has over the SLR, and they are quieter too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05999152066438518176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361251099864607419.post-24334156857715082022013-05-04T06:05:48.187-07:002013-05-04T06:05:48.187-07:00Thanks Mohammad!

I think that is a genuine concern and I'll add a note about that. Thanks for pointing that out.<br /><br />As for checking for spots, personally if my shots don't require stopping down then I would not worry about it. Life's too short for needless stress, I say! :D<br /><br />Incidentally, IIRC Olympus is the only manufacturer that has an effective built-in sensor cleaning function (the cleaning function on my Nikons don't seem to have any effect at all).<br /><br />Best regards,<br />Mic360 Rumorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01173469932778454315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361251099864607419.post-19820573581991013682013-05-04T05:25:43.410-07:002013-05-04T05:25:43.410-07:00Welcome back Mic, really glad to see you posting a...Welcome back Mic, really glad to see you posting again, I hope all is ok now.<br /><br />Wow, I am scared to stop-down my lens and take test shots like yours, if I get a shot like your first one, I am afraid I might get a heart attack. I have never cleaned any of my sensors beyond the Giottos rocket blower, my 5D2 had four spots that appeared when I was shooting macro at f/16, but I was never able to get rid of them using the blower alone.<br /><br />I also haven't cleaned the OMD yet, I hope I never see spots. I take a lot of care when changing lenses, I don't change them in open environment, I face the camera down and have the other lens ready to minimize the time the sensor might get some debris.<br /><br />One thing to consider, the OMD has IBIS, this means that the sensor moves to compensate for vibration, and I am not sure that touching the sensor physically will not destroy the IS mechanism.mshafikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09178862453786826299noreply@blogger.com
