The time had finally come for me to attempt to clean my sensor. I have tried having it professionally done before, but with very poor results. You know what they say… If you want something done right, do it yourself. The only problem here is that it was my camera sensor. Look on the web and there are warnings all over about the risk of damaging the sensor. But, an unusable camera (due to dust) is unusable – so I decided it was time to actually try it. And it wasn’t so bad.

It was pretty nerve racking, but it was fairly easy.

I used a staged approach and I bought all the stuff – the blower, the brush, and the swabs. I went through each method and it was just like you read in the other reviews. The blower took off some, the brush took off more, and the swab got all the rest.

The brush worked out pretty well, but I still had to resort to the wet method to get the more stubborn specs. As long as the dust is not stuck on, it does a pretty good job. Just make sure to read the instructions and follow them.

Overall, I’m giving five stars because the brush did exactly what I expected it to do. No complaints here.


Help answer the question about Sensor Cleaning
Does anyone know of a moisture sensor that signals when the sensor goes dry?
I am looking for a sensor with a probe that can be submerged Sensor Cleaning in water. When the probe goes dry, I would like the sensor to go off, signaling me that it's time to add water. I know that there are sensors that will set off an alarm if they get wet, but I want a sensor that will set off an alarm if it goes dry. Thanks!
