One problem with digital photography is that dust can sit on the image sensor and makes dark spots in your image file. You do not want to use compressed air to clean it off - special swabs are recomended instead. Cleaning a camera is not difficult but it does take 30 minutes to do it right.
Enter the Fujin Mark II Vacuum Lens - from DIY Photography:
FUJIN MARK II VACUUM “LENS” SUCKS THE DIRT, DUST, & GRIME RIGHT OUT OF YOUR SLR
This funky little “lens” is actually not a lens, but a specialty camera vacuum called the Fujin Mark II. The device uses an electric fan which the manufacturer says, “can easily remove the type of dust, dirt, and sand that could not be removed before.” All you have to do is mount the lens on your camera, flip on the power switch and let the device extract the dust from inside your camera.
Fujin suggests you use the vacuum in conjunction with certain camera functions (they specifically mention sensor cleaning, mirror-lockup, and continuous shooting) for an even more effective cleaning.
Clever idea! Online store here. Just Canon mount for now with Nikon F mount coming in a month or two.
