 It Worked July 25, 2008
The manufacture web site not only has instructions but an instructional video as well. Although it is easy to do, it took me three times to get it completely clean. But it worked!
 Great Product May 27, 2008

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.
Awesome sensor cleaner! March 5, 2008

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.
Bogus Exception
For that stubborn dust March 1, 2008

I have sent the camera to get it professionally clean before, and this kit yields the same results. With this kit, I can clean it whenever I want and get quick turn-around.
Wish you didn't need to buy this, but...... October 9, 2007

Got away with using a blower type dust remover on the sensor for several years, but finally had dirt that would not be blown away.
You read so much about the pros and cons of using a swab yourself AND pros and cons of sending your camera in to have it done in the shop, hard to decide which way to go.
Seems I had a pretty typical experience with first use and got SOME of the dirt off and left some in the corners. Didn't want to repeat process so will live with what is left until it gets worse again.
You don't get many swabs with this, but they say you should not clean the sensor that much in order to protect it from damage. Glad I didn't buy a dozen swabs at around $45 until I use all 4 of these and see how I like results over time.
Pouch is okay, but would have liked to buy just 4-6 swabs with liquid for about $10.00. I have no need for the other lens wipes they give you a ten pack of. Although I hear some re-wrap the swabs with these to save money. Not suggesting that, but have heard some do it.
Had to order from Adorama so could not get it shipped with other Amazon stocked items, shipping was a bit high for such a small and light weight item. Ends up just over $25 total cost for 4 tries at a clean sensor.
My first time ordering from them, and they did ship fast and without problems
I understand it can cost around $50. to have it cleaned once in the shop and they often come back with dirt still in place.
Newer camera models are starting to use electronic sensor cleaners build in.. wise move if they work well.
