 Big bang for the buck February 24, 2010
Tell Draper (Illinois, USA)
Having moved up to a full frame sensor camera, I was caught with my pants down this past Saturday when I discovered some spots on my sensor that wouldn't blow off. I tried using the sensor swab and eclipse for my cropped cameras and made it even worse. I made sure I shot wide open and that got me through the event, but I ordered this kit right away.
First off, if you think that automatic sensor cleaning is going to work indefinately, you're mistaken. All it does is shake the sensor a bit. To test how dirty your sensor is, shoot a clear sky at f16. Download that image and increase the contrast a bit. You might be amazed at how filthy your sensor is. I think it's always a good idea to carefully use a blower first. The Giottos Rocket Blaster is about $10. Take another test image. If it's still dirty, check your lens for spots and then use the Sensor Swab. Test between each swab. It might take 2 or 3 swabs. The kit comes with 4 swabs with Pec Pads attached. It also includes 10 additional Pec Pads that you can attach yourself, and a pre-moistened swab. Save the pre-moistened swab for an emergency, like your Eclipse evaporating. No matter how tight you screw on the cap, this stuff disappears. Just to be on the safe side, you might want to purchase a pack of 100 Pec Pads for $10 and an extra bottle of Eclipse for $10. The case that comes with the kit is nicely constructed and perfect for the camera bag.
Adorama shipped extremely fast.
Happy shooting!

 Digital Survival Kit Swabs February 11, 2010

Swabs worked well but I needed a second kit. I had several tough dust particles on my sensor that were pretty stubborn. Still 2 of these kits cost no more than other cleaning systems.

The sensor cleaning swabs are perfect fit for the Canon Rebel I use. It has removed the annoying dust spots I had on my photos.
 Yes, it works but..... November 22, 2009

After finally realizing that the small spots in my photos were not on my lens but on the sensor, I inquired with my local Samy's Camera about having the sensor on my Nikon D700 cleaned. $50! So I figured I've give this product a try. Yes it worked but I used all the swabs. (very stingy with the swabs - only 4 and one pre-moistened freebie) I freaked out after the first try. I took a photo and there was more gunk than ever on the sensor so after 4 more tries and using up all the swabs, I finally got the hang of swabbing. The trick is getting that swab DIRECTLY on the sensor without touching the insides. I think stuff was dropping from the walls onto the sensor. I also applied very sturdy and hard pressure on the last try which may have also helped. I had to order more swabs. Expensive little buggers!! $50 for 12???!!!! Hopefully, my camera won't need it for another year. My camera is a year old and heavily used for shooting homes - mostly bracketing shots. In one year 50,000 shutter actuations. I will also be very careful in the future about changing lenses in dusty conditions and keeping the camera pointed down. So many little things to think about.
A nice alternative to sending it to the manufacture. November 8, 2009

I was a bit hesitant to use this on my Nikon D60 but didn't want to have to send it back to Nikon and shell out a bunch of money to clean my dirty sensor. I had some stubborn condensation stains on my sensor that showed up on my photos. I did a bunch of research and decided to give Eclipse a try. I have fat fingers and was worried about wrecking something inside my camera but I was able to completely clean my sensor and my camera is back to taking perfectly clean shots once again! I didn't have any problems cleaning the edges like some of the others but it did take two swabs to get everything. My tip is to go heavy on prep, make sure you wash your hands, and work around good light, then when you actually swipe use consistent pressure, don't be a wimp and you'll be fine. Remember with this kit you only get 4 tries.
