Panasonic TZ35 dust in camera

[Kenzie]

I have a TZ35 that I have owned for just over a year. I have noticed when shooting bright scenes including the sky that there are dust specs in the image. Now it is going to cost £49 ish to have it cleaned but bearing in mind the camera set me back £99. Is it worth cleaning or just clone out spots after?

had the same problem on another camera, made a cone out of clingfilm and put it over the lens and connected it to the hoover. worked for me.

I had read about doing that. Will give it a go.
