    Can anyone recommend somewhere to get a Nikon DSLR image sensor cleaned? Have a spec of dirt on it and don't want to go messing with it myself.

    Anyone of the genuine "bricks and motar" camera shops in Dublin will do it for you. In alphabetical order; Bermingham's, Conns, Gunn's, Hall's.

    If you are going to use the camera regularly then it would make sense to buy a cleaning kit and learn how to do it yourself.

    It's not very hard to do and will save time and money.

    Remember that you never actually touch the sensor itself. It is quite safe behind the IR Filter, which is what you actually clean. The IR Filter is just a special piece of glass. As long as you don't go attacking it with something abrasive or use incorrect fluid you will be OK. A bottle of the fluid will put you back around €20 and the swabs will cost a few yoyo's each too.

    This is one of many tutorials which will show you how to do it.

    Any kits / brand to recommend? After many, many, many years, I'm finally going to clean my sensors. Will be buying online.
