DSLRClean Review at ePhotoZine

Mark Goldstein | Accessories | June 23, 2005 | 3 Comments

ePhotoZine have taken a look at the DSLRClean, a sensor cleaning product that uses a unique micro-pore swab to create a mini vacuum effect, gently lifting dust from both CCD and CMOS type sensors.

“Digital SLR users will face the inevitable fact that the camera’s sensor will need cleaning at some point during their period of ownership – and more than once. Even those manufacturers who install a ‘Dust Barrier’ on their cameras will encounter similar problems. All imaging sensors, whether CMOS or CCD, are very sensitive to static charge build-up or the use of ‘hazardous’ liquids, so one will be entering very new territory when the time comes to clean that sensor for the first time.”

That review looks very similar to the one at this website http://www.sd9.org.uk/clean.htm .. I wonder if it's really an advert?
I'm interested because I do want to clean my sensor of a few bits of dust but it's scary the idea of touching it!

Yes, it looks as though ePhotoZine have reprinted the same article. Tut tut tut!

I went ahead and bought a "lens brush" in a local camera shop instead. It worked fine and I removed a small hair and a few specks from my sensor. It's still not perfect but I'm not tempting fate by brushing it more than I have to!
I wrote a bit more about it here:
