After reading a couple of online tutorials, I concluded that Photographic Solutions provided some of the most reliable sensor cleaning supplies.

Sooner or later everyone will get dust on their DSLR sensor and if the less invasive ways (camera self cleaning and blower bulb) don't work then this is the tool to use. Took two attempts but now my sensor no longer has big blobs on it. Follow the instructions and watch the video on the company website and you will do just fine.

I have an older Canon 20D, which doesn't have a self-cleaning mode. I purchased this kit after recommendation from a friend and after watching him clean his sensor. I was very nervous at first, but after watching my friend, I had the confidence. The kit arrived shortly after I ordered it (normal shipping). I had to clean the sensor 2x to get it clear of spots. Works like it's supposed to and I highly recommend it. It's saved me $50 + a few days and travel to the only camera shop in town (Charlotte NC).

I was able to clean a couple of spots off my sensor with this. But I used all 4 of the wipes. The first pass I added worse spots. I think next time I'll wait until it's real bad before trying this. It would probably be a good idea to look at some of the tutorials online. It was worth it to me. My photos are clean now.

I really did not expect it to work as well as it did. My sensor was absolutely FILTHY! I couldn't find a single dust speck after I was done. Follow the copperhill method and you will be set.

After watching a Camera shop employee clean someone elses senser and reading the instructions. I felt confident enough to try it myself. Wet the applicator, dab the worse spots, drag across and then flip the applicator over and drag back across the sensor. Then check and reapply with a new applicator if needed. I used two on a really dirty senser I also bought a power pump to blow out the easy to remove particles.

Great Product, contains everything you need to clean your sensor , without the hassle of carrying the entire sensor scope case. And after you use it all up the case can be used for other stuff like all the little caps you carry for flash drives, camera caps , hot shoe cap , viewfinder, Great Product .. GREAT DEAL.. all top notch items.

I was able to remove a couple of stubborn spots from my Nikon D70s easily and without damage to the sensor. I have noted, though, that there may be some confusion over the solution one should be using on the D70s. Some sources claim that only Eclipse 2 is appropriate for the type of sensor on this camera. Other sources (including this survival kit) suggest that the basic Eclipse solution is fine. In the future I will use the Eclipse 2 solution to be safe, as there are no reports that I can find of it damaging a sensor. On the other hand there are claims made by what seem to be professionals that the basic Eclipse solution should not be used on a Nikon D70s sensor, as it might cause permanent damage of the coating on the sensor. Caveat emptor!

Useful for cleaning lenses but limited use for SLR Sensor

I bought this kit to clean a dirty sensor after reading the how to on this site , i figured it seemed easy enough,so i bought this kit. If you have about three mins of spare time you can do this yourself , who wants to pay to have thier sensor cleaned everytime when this product makes it that easy.

I have an older canon 20D that was litterly RIDDLED with sensor dust after 2 years of outdoor events and, unfortunately, not the best care since it was my secondary camera. I opted for this kit because of the price (i didn't want to invest in the full set of swabs and large size cleaner) to try it out. After one application my sensor was 95% clean - it took only one more pass to make it as good as new. I was so impressed I bought the second kit for my 5D. Now i have these with me whereever my shoots take me. Very easy and effective!
