best canon lens cleaning kit image
Raivey
I found a Canon XS camera on ebay for 483.00 It comes with a EF-S 18-55mm IS Lens, Battery Charger, Camera Bag, Extra Battery, Extra Memory, 8GB SD Memory Card, Lens, Lens Cleaning Kit, Memory Reader, Neck Strap, Tripod, cords, strap, Free shipping too!
Is this a good deal? The company selling it has had great reviews. What is the catch here?
Answer
The catch is probably that they replaced the Canon parts with no name parts or it is grey market. Meaning that it is not intended for sale in the U.S. and therefore will not carry a U.S. warranty. Any tripod they are giving you is worthless. It wont be able to hold up the camera. The bag and other stuff is certainly junk as well. Spend a few extra dollars and get it from a reputable dealer.
The camera should come from the factory with the following.
EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Autofocus Lens for Select Digital SLR Cameras
Front & Rear Lens Caps
LP-E5 Battery Pack
LC-E5 Battery Charger
IFC-200U USB Interface Cable
VC-100 Video Cable
Ef Eyecup
EW-100DBIII Wide Neck Strap
EOS Digital Solution Disk and Instruction Manuals on CD-ROM
"Great Photography is Easy" Booklet and "Do More with Macro" Booklet
1-Year Manufacturers Limited Warranty (U.S.A. & Canada)
Cost at B&H Photo which is a very reputable site is $524 now.

What is the best way to clean a lens on a 35mm camera?
Angellover
I've got a Cannon Sure Shot Owl 115. It is a 35mm camera. When I look through the shutter window (the little window that you look through to focus and capture the object) I have a little white smear on my lens unless it is zoomed to 10x. That is too large for most short range photos. The lens isn't removable. How can I clean that off without damaging my camera? I don't want that smear in my holiday photos, Thanks.
Answer
Hi AngelLover, that Canon sureshot is a great little camera.
Remember that any smear you see thru the viewfinder window is NOT going to show up in your photos.
That smear is simply on the front viewfinder lens. It is the tiny glass lens above the main lens of the camera.
Here is what you do.
In a bright room place the camera on its back on a table.
Look at the front viewfinder lens from different angles until you can see the smear.
If the smear is on the front of the lens it is probably one of two things, either a fingerprint, or possibly some other sticky debris.
Most drugstores, camera shops or big discount stores sell cheap lens cleaning kits for less than $5. They come with a brush, a rubber blower to blow dust off, special tissue paper, and a bottle of cleaner.
First blow any dust off the viewfinder lens. Then brush the lens gently.
Next moisten the special tissue with a drop of fluid. Dab at the lens gently. Wipe dry with another cleaning tissue.
If this does not work, try cleaning the back viewfinder lens.
If the smear is inside the camera, don't worry because it will not show up in your photos.
Cleaning an older camera at a shop is not worthwhile unless you are under warranty.
Best of luck.
