I'm in for a 10 pack ... noticed the spots on my D7000 after only a week of testing and can't believe that it's gone on this long. Thanks Peter for your enthusiasm and for a chemical-free solution!
Another reason not to use a chemical, the sterile pads are attached to the SensorSweep with some type of adhesive, I am not sure how a chemical would react to the underlying adhesive. However, if I was put into a corner and had to use some kind of chemical, I would very reluctantly use the Eclipse, but again, it is a chemical not a humidity fog of a breath and you cannot take it on a plane with you on a trip. your breath should always be with you (I hope :)
@rorrt I think I have made a point for people to be careful that no spittle, just a very gentle exhale. But just in case it isn't really clear and understood - NO SPITTING ALLOWED - just a gentle long exhale, no waterworks guys, really :)
@rorrt Your breath gently fogging is a thousand times milder than a strong fluid going on your sensor. The people that laugh at the fogging have no clue.
If you suspect your body is in an acid state, get test strips from your drug store and see. A body in an acidic state is quite dangerous to your health. It should be at a number 7 or higher, below that, you are set up for disease status. Most folks should be in an alkaline state and your breath fogging the glass is gentler than any chemical.
But my point was more that breathing on your sensor, could include spittle. 3 drops of eclipse, a highly refined ethanol liquid, that evaporates very quickly.
Although to be honest, i have used breath, and have had absolutely no problems
D7000 users can look forward to a lot of sensor cleaning. A rising number have discovered small oil droplets being flicked on to the low pass filter by the mirror mechanism..or at least that's what they think is happening; Nikon are saying nothing. My D7000 had thirty oil droplets after just two weeks of use. I've sent it back.
@Quartzarenite ok, that might explain why I can't seem to keep my sensor clean. It is becoming very frustrating. I take great care when changing my lenses and could not figure out why my sensor keeps getting dirty. ugg! :(
@Quartzarenite I had mine cleaned twice on the warranty because of oil droplets on the low pass filter! The second time they also replaced some mechanical part that had to do with the shutter mechanism. Guess what? - the oil droplets are back... not in the same quantity as before, but I guess they'll keep adding up as time goes by.
Its really annoying, because when compared to regular dust spots, the oil droplets are very visible on the images :-/
I liked this as soon as I saw it, so just ordered a 10 pack. I've only had my D7000 since last November but the sensor already has a nice selection of muck on it. We'll see how these little pads do, they certainly seem better than anything I could buy in this country.
Nice production quality - send me a message on your setup (vid camera, lighting, settings, white/color balance)
Appreciate the headsup on alternate products to visibledust as well as fogging technique.
Whats your opinion on the sensor brushes?

Luckily the Canon EOS600D for example comes with an auto sensor cleaner...

hi Peter, the sensor sweep you have there while your doing it to D7000, is it the same for d300s ? thanks.
heinrichmack 11 months ago
@heinrichmack Yes, they both have the same sized sensor, so the sweeps would work for either camera. :)

After the mirror up, did you turn the camera off or leave it on?
aidanhill 11 months ago
@aidanhill it was left on, cuz when he finished cleaning it, he put the lens back on, and then switched the camera off.
nwarken 11 months ago
@aidanhill Leave it on, when you are done turn it off to close the shutter
