Sensor cleaning under warranty?

[bradkb]

Guys

quick question, bought my 40D earlier this year, but I have some dust bunnies both on the sensor and the focus screen, have tried with a rocket but they wont shift, can I get it cleaned under canon warranty? If not where would you recommend around london?

Cheers

I think i have read either here or on another forum that canon will give one free sensor clean , i have had mine done at road shows a few times by canon always FOC

I emailed fixation http://www.fixationuk.com/Fixation/Fixation - Home/Fixation - Home.html and they told me they will do it under warranty if you provide proof of purchase, They also told me that they would clean the rear element of whatever lens is fitted, they sound really good and I only wish I lived in London...I will have to send it in the post.

Yes, not heavily advertised by Canon but you are entitled for 1 FREE sensor cleaning within the warranty period of your camera but you may have to ruffle some feathers to figure that out I am afraid...........

yep you can get a free clean - fixation did mine (20d a few years ago)
