Hello from Maine,

Being a first time "Pro camera" user, I got a kick out of swapping lenses regularly, like "lock and load" it was a hoot. But at a cost - now I have dust in the camera

So I did the research and the FinePix S1 needs "Eclipse cleaner with Swab Type 1, Swab Width 20", no problem, I'll just buy it. Then I discover that the "kit" is like $70 !!! I didn't see that coming.

Spending $70 to clean a $160 camera seems... unbalanced. I was curious if any of you had found a less expensive method for cleaning dust out of your camera.

If you look at my daughter's forehead in the pic below you will see a dust bunny.

I think I will clean my camera and then put on one lens semi-permanently.

Thank you,
Craig
