I've used the pen on a 5D without the stupid loupe thing, it works great. If you take an unfocused shot of a blank wall at f22 and locate your dust particles, just invert their location to determine roughly where the dust is on your sensor. Then just use a regular small flashlight. No need to waste $80 on a glorified magnifying glass.

One mistake and your senzor is history.

this is great i am going to buy it to take care of my eyepieces for my telescope. So all you Amateur astronomers, go get the LensPen from Celestron! Clearly a must have at a bargain! It's 15$

I glad the on/off button doesn't have to be purchased separately

Yet another unnecessary gimmick. Why would one want to clean only the parts the dirt may be on, YOU clean the full sensor or you don’t clean it at all? Small LCD flash light one euro and re test at f16, loop with lights my arse

I don't prefer any brand over another. I prefer the one that can give me most bang for the buck, be it Sony, Canon, Nikon, Pentax or Olympus. I don't care.

Right now I'm using a Sony Alpha 700+ a backup A300. Besides their are good cameras for decent prices I like that Sony use Info-Lithium batteries that show battery life in % + the A300's flipable screen.

I do however miss Canon and especially Nikon's fast and very quiet USM and SWM. Sony's own SSM are only in very few lenses.

@CheezeDipper Hey fanboy, what camera do you prefer?

[Overxpossed]

And what thing would be defined as 'mistake'?

[Michkuty]

@dangit360 Well if you already paid these 3k for the camera and all the lenses, $80 isn't that much is it?

All digital SLR cameras have built in sensor cleaning nowadays. They just don't always clean everything - they help reducing dust particles, yes. But they can't replace an effective manual cleaning.

Besides, Olympus was the first manufacturer to implement sensor-cleaning. Their system is called SWF and have won several tests.

Do your research, fanboy.

I find ripping it out the best way to clean it. One time thing...
