Technical Support / removing dust from sensor

« on: June 15, 2012, 08:02:43 AM »

hi all,
i would like to have some tips/suggestions for removing dust from the sensor of my camera. yesterday i discovered some really annoying dust particles and so far i was not able to remove them with just a lens blower.

so i was browsing the website of my local camerastore and they sell these swaps. does anyone have experience with them? or would you suggest something else? if possible, i don't want to sent my camera to cps because it will be away for a couple of days. but i also don't want to damage my sensor. any advice is helpfull!

thanks!

Third Party Manufacturers / Tamron introduces 24-70mm f/2.8 with IS

« on: February 06, 2012, 05:55:27 AM »

Apparently Tamron has developed a new 24-70mm f/2.8 lens with IS: http://www.tamron.eu/uk/news/read/data/tamron-develops-full-size-high-speed-standard-zoom-with-built-in-image-stabilization-sp-24-70m.html

I wonder how Canon will respond. An update of the current 24-70mm, with IS would be most welcome.
