Tools and Hardware Reviews of Digital Survival KIT - Sensor Swab Type 2 (w/Eclipse)
Customer Review: Great Product
Summary: 5 Stars
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.

I had a spot that showed up in a corner of the frame. After figuring out it was the sensor and not the lens, I was dreading sending in my Nikon D80 into a camera repair shop or directly to the manufacturer to have the sensor cleaned. I found this product on Amazon, and after considering the other reviews, decided to give this product a try. Just a few drops of the solution and one back-and-forth swipe of the sensor, and all the dust particles were gone. I was able to continue with my photo shoot within minutes. Pictures are sharp and clean again.Customer Review: Hopeless Product.

I own Nikon D300 since 2008, and I see spots and speckles on my Photos and when I was looking for solutions to remove the same. When I went to a camera shop, they suggested a air blower(I bought the air blower and eventually, did not clean the CCD) and asked me to look for CCD cleaning Swabs and I bought the swabs here in Amazon.
When I tried to clean them, it did not clean well and I put more lints on my CCD and I had to use all 4-swabs in this pack, still the CCD is not fully cleaned. I am planning to give my camera for service.
1. It did not clean the CCD
2. Put more lint on my CCD

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!

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.
