 Very nice kit.Aug 21, 2007
By Jim Krupnik

I have been using the "Copperhill method" for cleaning my DSLR sensors when they capture enough dust to become a problem. That only happens once every several months of heavy use though, and I was looking for a "kit" style solution to the problem that would fit in my camera bag, and be ready when I felt the need to clean a sensor.
This little kit is a gem. It is exactly the same as the Copperhill method I have been using, but it is assembled in a nice, small zipper case that fits in a pocket on a camera bag. It gives you enough supplies to clean your sensor about 5 times.
If you want to buy bulk PEC pads, and bulk methyl alcohol, you can refill the kit over and over. For it's price though, it's not a bad once per year expense to just buy a new kit.
Very nice product.

Awesome sensor cleaner!Mar 05, 2008
By Bogus Exception
My friends freaked when I told them that I was out on a 2 week cruise and had to clean my sensor on the Canon 40D I had with me!
"Send it to Canon!", "Never clean it yourself!"...
Huh? What's the big deal? I had unacceptable crap on the sensor, and didn't liek the idea of the dust delete feature, as I still would have covered up pixels. And the debris was pretty bad.
Took me like 60 seconds total!
Outstanding quality, and the cleaner was perfect for my 40D's APS-C sensor.

Great ProductMay 27, 2008
By PunkrockMum
I had major dust problems on my camera's sensor. (It was literally ruining my photos beyond basic photoshop repair.) After using this product, I was able to remove about 97% of the dust I had on my sensor in just a few swipes. I did find it more difficult to get the corners but, in the end, was able to get it all cleared out. I did not find that reusing one end redeposited dust back on the sensor. I did use both sides, flipped the cloth over (wasn't easy getting the rubber band back on) and used both sides again and felt like I was able to get the sensor really clean. (Getting at least 4 swipes with one stick was important for me while considering the cost of these things)
I will say however, that it's very important to clean the rest of the camera (inside and out) before cleaning the sensor. Also make sure the space you are working on is clean. I did not do either of those and became extremely frustrated when dust and fibers from the camera's mirror/viewfinder section and my dirty work environment was getting on the sensor. I recommend using a lens cleaning cloth or a microfiber cloth of some kind to work on.
There are tons of websites and youtube videos out there with tutorials on cleaning your camera's sensor. Some better than others. Just google 'sensor cleaning' and add in the model of your camera. Lots of helpful websites came up for my Canon 30d.

 Yes, it works but.....Nov 22, 2009
By Valente Riolo
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.

It WorksAug 29, 2009
By Jelly Roll
I made the mistake of using cannned air to clean my D200 sensor. Instead of a clean sensor, I ended up with a mess. I think the liquid in the can ended up on the sensor, leaving a nasty residue. DON'T DO THAT!!
My local camera shop said that the camera would have to go back to Nikon. I was leaving on vacation in a week and didn't want to leave without my camera. I went to the home page for the Digital Survival Kit and discovered that I could clean the D200 sensor with thier Eclipse solution.
I followed the enclosed instructions and ultimately used 3 swabs to clean the sensor. In between swabs, I photographed a white wall to see the results. It worked as advertised. I am a believer.
Different cameras and sensors use different solutions. Check the manufacturers web site before ordering.
