Photography is an expensive hobby so the best and smartest way to spend your money is to take care of your investment. You need to store your photography gadgets properly so shell out money for good storage and camera bags. Don’t be frugal in buying camera cleaning equipment as well.

You can also do a bit of do-it-yourself cleaning so buy a rocket blower sensor, cleansing swabs and sensor cleaning solutions on camera specialty shops like cameraclean.co.uk, these tools will help clean your SLR body and sensor.
For camera lenses buy a special camera lens cloth.
Always clean you photography equipment after rough shooting, perhaps after a beach trip.
The more efficient you are about cleaning you digital SLR the more time you’ll spend with it and the less money you’ll waste.
