(5 out of 5) by Dan J. Reed on Nov 9, 2009This kit works great. I safely cleaned both VERY DIRTY light sensors on my Rebel XT and my 20D Canon units. Its fast, easy to use, safe and absolutely gets the job done.
A lot of people are "scared to death" to clean these sensors, what you don't know is that your not really cleaning the sensor, but rather a thin cover that protects the sensor.
I have it on 1st hand knowledge that when you send your camera out to Canon.. to be "professionally cleaned" guess what they use?
Yup - this same kit.
Its important to note - that if you have a newer DSLR with a "self cleaning" sensor - you should NOT use this kit. There is another kit for those cameras - they have a different type of coating on the light sensor.
Ive only had to clean the cameras a few times. I don't try (who does?) to get a lot of dust in the camera. Once cleaned - my sensor stays clean for some time (a few months).. so if your not swapping lenses a lot - chances are you'll only have to do this once or twice a year.

This is great product
(5 out of 5) by Maria Schuchardt on Oct 23, 2009 (Tucson, AZ)I had been putting off cleaning my sensor (there was even a blop when I got the camera 4 years ago).
This kit contains everything. And now my sensor is squeaky clean! And the company, this is the first time
I used them and highly recommend them.

Great kit
(5 out of 5) by Loppyshingers on Aug 18, 2009 (Lubbock, TX USA)This kit comes with everything you need to keep your camera sensor clean. It comes with printed instructions, but it's easier to search the web for cleaning vids. Don't be an idiot that pays somebody $80.00 to do something this simple. It'll save you a fortune.
Excellent product
(5 out of 5) by Connie Fore on Jul 24, 2009I encountered terrible dust particles on my sensor that I couldn't remove from using the dust blower. I used the liquid and the wand and removed them easily and quickly. I did not damage my sensor either. This is by far the best cleaning kit I have seen. Every photographer should have this cleaning kit.
must have for all dSLR users
(5 out of 5) by Farooq G. Ahsanuddin on Jun 18, 2009 (Bethesda, MD United States)Great piece of kit, vital for any dSLR user. The rocket blower is awesome and the rest of the kit is well designed. There is also a comprehensive article that instructs you how to use it. Only issue is that it comes in a zip lock bag (!). Would have preferred to have a dedicated back/case, but a the price one can't really complain!!!
