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.

So this is the vid the boys at digitalrev roast due to the "fog" ?

@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 :-/

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...

@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! :(

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!

How often shoud I clean the sensor?? Thanks!

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 :)

[PeterGregg]

@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 :)

@PeterGregg

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
