dslr camera cleaning image
Glenn
There is this certain technique to clean a DSLR sensor by accessing the camera's menu where the mirror lifts up to expose the sensor and you can use the blower ball to remove dust and other particles from the sensor and the insides of the camera. But is it safe for me to apply the same technique if I use the blower in cleaning the mirror of my DSLR camera whenever I see small dust particles on it? Thanks!
Answer
Just be careful to avoid actual contact between the brush and the mirror.
The dust may actually be on the focus screen rather than the mirror.
In either scenario it won't actually affect your pictures as the mirror and prism are out of the optical path when taking the picture. Unless its really bad just live with it.

I am looking to replace my point and shoot camera with a DSLR camera. Does anyone have any suggestions to a camera for a beginner? What specs should i look for?

Any of the entry level DSLRs would keep you happy for a few years. I'd pick either Canon or Nikon. I have a LOT of contact with other photographers and time and time again it seems that either one of those are most likely to make their owners happy.
The most important part is to buy only the best lenses - camera bodies get upgraded, lenses stay with us.
You WILL regret buying cheap lenses.
Don't rush into buying lenses. Start with a kit lens, get to know your camera, that lens, and all photographic principles.
Through time and through use, you will eventually KNOW what other lenses you'll need/want.
The more time you'll take, the less likely you are to regret your choices.
If you know anyone close to you with a camera, consider borrowing lenses and "picking their brain" about their camera and whatever else they know.
Go to a store and hold a few cameras, see how they feel to YOU.
Do lots of research before you buy, and start learning about photography, too.
Keep in mind that buying a DSLR isn't cheap, even if you find a good deal for body and kit lens.
You'll also want and/or need a few other things such as tripod, filters, a bag, sensor cleaning gear, a second battery, memory cards, perhaps a remote shutter release etc.
That's just the small stuff - I can guarantee you that you'll also want more and more lenses.
You'll also want a decent flash some day.
See how that list just goes on and on?
Owning a DSLR isn't cheap - at least not until you have built up a nice stash of gear.
Just some food for thought........
