sensor cleaning - easy job

went peninsular plaza, EM to see whether can clean the camera sensor. but not open. went to opposite peninsular shopping arcade, stopped by in benphoto. and talked to william. asking around on their second hand leica, M8 for $3700, MP9 $10820. they also sold other second-hand cameras, nikon, canon, pentax, minolta, olympus, contax.... he said, they also clean sensor, for $15. he let him. he did it in 5 minutes, took out the swap(a wetted white square flexible pad on a stick handle) from a packaged sashe, put the camera's mirror "sensor cleaning" position, swapped the pad on the sensor, one direction, from up to down.... before all this, he took a picture of a white paper, to show the shadows of the dust stains, after the cleaning, he did it again to prove the dust stains had gone.

he bot the packet of swaps(6) from him for $25, for the next cleaning, self done.

sony alpha 850(FF) was $2400, and alpha 900(FF) was $2800. considering to get a full-frame camera, sony's has the best deal.... lens choice can get carl-zeiss. the main weak point of this system is native iso only from 200-6400, limited by sensor technology 3 years ago.

went funan to buy ta 16g mem card($39).
