sabaijai Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 My Canon 350D has a little something - fungus? - growing on the sensor and I would like to have it cleaned. Does anyone have any recommendations in Bangkok? Better yet somewhere with a quick turnaround, ie, two or three days? Warranty service not needed as the warranty expires years ago.

Does anyone have any recommendations in Bangkok? Better yet somewhere with a quick turnaround, ie, two or three days? Warranty service not needed as the warranty expires years ago. Canon service center - usually about 1 hour - Thb 300 If it's real bad maybe the next day I had a 20 year old lens awash with fungus cleaned by them last year - perfect. p.s. why not invest in the Visible Dust products and do it yourself the next time - I clean my sensor every 2/3 weeks and it takes 20 minutes at a time. Money well spent and saves me traveling to BKK. Edited October 29, 2009 by The Vulcan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nordlys Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 (edited) Where else to bring other than Canon service center? It's on 10th floor of Bangkok City Tower building (ABM AMRO sign on top), at the southeast corner of Sathorn - Narathiwat Rd intersection, 5 min walk from BTS Chong Nongsri station. Sensor cleaning can be done in less than half a day, if you're willing to wait, depending on the queue. There's starbucks on the 1st floor of the Bangkok City Tower building if you choose to wait. I had a 20 year old lens awash with fungus cleaned by them last year - perfect. How long did that take (and how much)?

I day - I had a sensor clean at the same time and the total bill was only Thb 800 if I remember correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fotofile (if you bought your camera there) and Canon service center drop-off place at MBK might be able to clean the sensor too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabaijai Posted November 1, 2009 Author Share Posted November 1, 2009 I went to the Canon service center on the 5th floor of MBK and they cleaned both lens and sensor for 500 baht each. Took them in at 730pm and had them back the next afternoon. Very impressive service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
