A well understood and skillfully documented and photographed guide. Not for the faint hearted, but that's not the author's fault!

I would like to thank you for the guide. I used this guide yesterday to change the lenses of a G15. It has some differences, but your guide helped me a lot. I'm not a technician and I almost gave up on the way, but in the end everything worked out. Thanks!

You haven’t disassembled the lens yet or exposed the sensor which may have dust on it and be in need of cleaning or even replacement. How is that done, wise guy?

Anybody knows a good and reliable seller where i can buy the lens replacement part for the canon g16? Thanks!

Darío Fernández - Réponse

To be clear, can this procedure be used to replace a lens that has got stuck due to a drop? And a source(s) for the replacement part would be great.
