5 out of 5 stars It works but quite expensive!   February 16, 2008

I have been having a hard time convincing myself to clean my sensor and I finally did it. I tried it for on my Nikon D300 when I noticed some dust on the sensor....after one swipe I got rid of the dust that boosted my confidence. I went to check my other body Nikon D200 and there was also some dust on it....I honestly found it to be a bit expensive to use a new swab so I just tried to reuse the swab and got my D200 sensor cleaned as well.....I guess this thing can be reused at your own risk...what's the risk? well just getting more dust but then again you can always use a new one if this happens....so I guess you may opt to reuse and if it doesn't get the job done get a fresh swab and swipe it!

Well, dust is always there in your DSLR's CCD sensor. It is just a matter of time when it gets there. I used a Canon's 40D. Just got it for a month, I can see a lot of dust in the CCD already. --you take a picture against a piece of white paper with the smallest aperture (e.g. F/22), then you can see the dust-- In a point, it is not possible to just blow it off. There you have to use something like the Swab physically move the dust off.

It works well, simply, and fast. Highly recommended!!!

I have used this product a few times before, it's great yet expensive, but what you get with that cost is a product guarantee that it won't ruin your sensor. I used four swabs, and with that I went from very dirty to sensor, with blotches, and dust particles visible in my photos, to a squeaky clean sensor with no dust whatsoever.

PROS: rocket blowers will remove light dust, but when you've got gunk you'll eventually need to use a sensor swab. Researched 3 other different swabs,much cheaper than Eclipes, but Eclipes was outright the best. Highly recommended but expensive slr cameras..
CONS: EXPENSIVE, EXPENSIVE, EXPENSIVE!!! You can only use the swabs once, but i've used one twice cause they're just to darn expensive.



4 out of 5 stars Great product, a bit pricey   December 16, 2008

I cleaned my Nikon D200 sensor for the first time using the Eclipse solution and Sensor Swabs. Within five minutes I had a removed any visible and photographic hint of sensor contamination. The total cost for one cleaning was under $15.00. Even better, I avoided having to bring or ship my camera elsewhere to get the job done.

The only negative is the price charged for the swabs. Though it cost me far less to clean the sensor than sending the camera out to a repair shop, I felt a bit stung paying the price I did for the swabs.
