I had a bad feeling before doing it but it had become inevitable. There was more dust on my Canon 5D’s sensor than under the bed and it needed cleaning. And indeed it was a bad start into last week when somehow some of the cleaning liquid was leaking into the sensor – right in the center – leading to a nice visible colored stain in the photos. I had wanted to upgrade to a 6D in a long time anyway, but it seemed to be a bad time as just a few days ago it was announced that Canon had stopped the production which indicates a 6D Mark II is likely to be introduced soon.
But luckily I found a second hand camera over the weekend and now I am feeling like a small kid before Christmas who can’t wait to open it’s presents. The original 5D was introduced in 2005, so technologically this will be a big leap forward for me. Like a self cleaning sensor for example.
