(4 out of 5) by Douglas E. Roesch on Aug 21, 2008 (Pittsburgh, PA United States)Title says it all. This brush works well, but they'd sell three times as many if they cut the price in half. No justification for it.
A great Product
(4 out of 5) by Dan overesch on Apr 29, 2008The Visible Dust Arctic Butterfly 724 Kit, Rotary Motion Fiber Cleaning Brush work great twice with the bush and the sensor was clean. The sensor before the cleaning was so bad that a blue sky had tons of dark spots.
But after using the brush there all vanished. To me it was worth the price.
I had a camera shop clean it the first time and it cost me $50.00. Two cleanings and it will pay for itself.

RIPOFF
(2 out of 5) by James on Jun 13, 2008I hardly ever write reviews on stuff I buy. And apart from researching alternatives (I always shop carefully) I don't usually worry too much about the price of photography equipment. I am a hard working pro, my gear and my eyes make the money so I don't mind spending money on good equipment. However... I just unpacked my latest Amazon shipment and had a closer look at the Visible Dust 724. Now I know where my 100USD went. After the 3.50 it must be costing them to make these things, they are also sending you a nice plastic case (useless) and then putting THAT into another leather case (again, useless). That case has a bunch of pockets etc. in it. Whoopee. Being one of the very few sensor cleaning companies that actually has a decent working product, I suppose Arctic can charge whatever they want for this. Having owned their past offerings which were so plasticy/flimsy that they broke. When I looked at the picture online of this newer one it looked more sturdy to me, possibly with a decent rubber grip. Actually, it's just a matte finish on the thinnest plastic they could find, It will probably shatter into a million pieces WHEN it falls. And there's no replacement tip which would have been one way of justifying the exorbitant price. Why don't we just all refuse to buy these things for two years and see how Arctic like that. It works (for now) so I've given it two stars but jeez.... what a ripoff.
