Thank you for the prompt delivery of the SensorSwipe tool, 100 PecPads & 2-ounce Eclipse.
Before trying your solution, I tried Sensor Swabs because other websites cautioned about using "cut-down butter knives" (the SensorSwipe?). The Sensor Swabs came in a 3-pack with a 1/2 ounce dropper of Eclipse for $30 Canadian. After the first swab, my test revealed countless specks & smears, especially in the corners & edges. I had thought I had scratched or damaged the sensor! The second swab removed major smears but many specks remained. After the third swab there were about 20 specks near the edges and corners. The 3-pack was used up and my D70 was dirtier than when I started!
Thankfully, I just used your SensorSwipe system and the sensor is completely clean! Your instructions and tips are very helpful and comforting. It took me 7 attempts and I know that I'll get better with practice. And I still have plenty of Eclipse and 93 more PecPads for future cleaning!
thank you SOOOO much! wonderful item I HIGHLY recommend to anyone with a digital SLR camera. My 20D is cleaner than the day I bought it.....detailed instructions are wonderful! again thank you!

Got the kit today because I had several "dusties" on my new D70 that a bulb wouldn't blow away. It took 8 tries but now have a completely dust free sensor. What a great product. I was about to return the camera. Now it is perfect. BTW, It is very easy to do and as you say, the pressure needed is about the same as writing with a pen. Also I found the a nice slow and even stroke works the best.

Nick,
it's a long story but i wound up with a defective canon 10D and figured, ah ha! a sacrificial camera to practice on. your system worked like a charm. i then went on to clean my other digital camera, a rebel, with equal results. i wanted to send you examples but you no longer seem to have your aol address. anywhere i can send them? meanwhile,thanks, truly.
