Customer Review: Afordable and portable
Summary: 4 Stars
this worked perfectly for me, I had my first dust spots after 2 years so didn't want to spend a fortune. This little packet did the job fits in my camera case and in 10 mins my spots were gone.Customer Review: Awesome sensor cleaner!
Summary: 5 Stars
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
Customer Review: Big bang for the buck

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!

Customer Review: Cheaper than sending it off...
Summary: 4 Stars
I've had my Rebel XT for a few years and finally built up the nerve to clean the sensor myself. I didn't want to pay to send my camera away to have it cleaned, nor did I want to play the guessing game as to when it would return. My wife and I were planning to drive the Blue Ridge Parkway and I wanted the pictures to be sharp.
I admit that I used two swabs to get the job done, and I also left a white circle on my kitchen table where the solution dripped accidentally. But, my sensor is clean and my pictures turned out great. A great solution to this annoying problem!
Customer Review: Couldn't take the spots anymore!
Summary: 5 Stars
I contemplated cleaning my own sensor as I was fearful of damaging it. However, after reading numerous reviews and not wanting to send out the camera every time it needed a cleaning, I decided to give a go. I can't stress how easy it is. One thing to keep in mind is that you will most likely not get the sensor clean with one swab. It took me 3-4 swabs. Don't be scared to be generous with the Eclipse solution. I highly recommend this product to even the less technically savvy.
