American Recorder DSCK-117 Digital Sensor Cleaning Kit for Nikon D1/h/x/D100 and Canon D30/60/70/10

I have a three-year-old Canon Rebel XT, which does not have the automatic sensor cleaning function like in later models. Despite my repeated attempts to clean the sensor with an air blower, more and more noticeable dust spots are appearing on images with uniform background. Finally, I decided to try a sensor cleaning kit.

This item (American Recorder DSCK-117 Digital Sensor Cleaning Kit) comes with a bottle of 'Ultra-Pure Optical Cleaning Fluid' and three sensor swabs. I applied the fluid onto the swab, and wiped the sensors in the long direction a few times. That did the job and my camera's sensor appears to be completely spot-free now (See my Customer Image for the 'before' and 'after').

I used to be intimidated by the idea of cleaning the camera's sensor myself. But the procedure turns out to be surprisingly easy and effective (It finally dawned upon me that I'm actually cleaning the GLASS that covers the sensor, not the sensor itself). Instead of tolerating dust spots on my photos, I should have bought this kit years ago!

Some reasons why I didn't give this cleaning kit a 5-star rating:

For its high price, I expect to get more than three swabs. I will probably make more myself, using lens paper wrapped around an old swab.

There were no diagrams showing how to clean the sensor using the cleaning fluid and swab, just some simple instructions printed on the bottle. Luckily, I used my common sense and the outcome was great.

One final note: if you ever need to travel by air, make sure NOT to bring this kit with you. This is because the cleaning fluid is highly flammable and so it is prohibited on planes. Don't forget to bring your old-fashioned rubber ball blower instead.

What can I say? Once you get over the fear of dragging the swabs over your camera sensor, it does the job as advertised. I had a few specks that wouldn't budge after repeated attacks by a Rocket blower, but this did the trick. The first time I put too much solvent on the swab and left streaks. Re-did it a second time with less solvent and it worked fine.

I had dust spots that were ruining some of my shots. This cleaned these perfectly without having to pay the cleaning costs from Nikon. This was used on my antiquated D100 and worked flawlessly. Follow the instructions and don't use too much cleaner otherwise it will leave a bit of buildup and you will have to go in again to remove it.
