Just an fyi, my camera is a Canon EOS-20D for what it's worth and it's much smarter than me!

Thanks!

I cleaned my 20D for the first time a while back as I was always nervous about causing more problems than the few spots that showed up. Once I got up the nerve it only took 5 minutes.

The cleaner I used is called Eclipse and the cleaners are made specifically for cleaning sensors. One of the absolutely worst things you can use is a qtip. The cleaning swabs are lint free and the qtip is not. I checked amazon and there's a kit for around $18 called Digital Survival Kit which has what you need.
