when you take out your camera in the rain
that's something you should've expected to happen

I've done this several times before without any damage. Usually I hold an umbrella with one hand and put the camera on a tripod. But this time, it was too windy at Stanley Park.

Not really, just like anything you clean ..

Same as you are polishing your car, you may screw it up, and make more scratches on it, but that is! you can still drive the car. (just some scratches on it)

I found this very useful site on censor cleaning. It seems to be done by professionals.

Thanks for the warning, how much did they charge you? I called Vancam and got a quote of $45.

I have tried cleaning sensor with Lens Pen, it'd worked fine with me when I am on a trip to HK and Japan. But I make sure I do it in hotel room without people walking around.
