Hello there,

I was wondering if anyone had any advice or recommendations for a good place to get a professional DSLR Camera cleaned/serviced. I have been treating my NikonD80 a bit roughly in my travels around China and my pictures are coming out a bit dirty, so I'm keen to get it cleaned.

If anyone knows of such a reliable place then please let me know!

Thankyou

there are a bunch of photo studios/camera shops on the intersection of Beijing Lu and Dongfeng Lu - they might be able to help you.

If it's dirt in the lenses, you should only let Nikon service touch them. If it's sensor dirt you can successfully clean your sensor, but it requires patience and care. Here is a link to a site that really puts all the information you need in one location.

Good luck.

For anyone who might be interested... we found an official Nikon service centre in Kunming:

昆明佳维龙视听器材有限公司
Address:
昆明市西园路1069号国防科技设计院一楼
邮政编码：650118

Phone: 0871-5421700
Fax: 0871-5375621
9:00-18:00 周一至周六 (周日及国定假日休息)

The staff are very professional and very friendly and, from memory, it was 230RMB to service the lens and 320RMB to service the camera.

There was an English speaking technician there too.
