Not happy!2009-11-07
I would advise against using these swabs. Use an air blower and if that fails then take it to a professional. I used all four and managed to leave marks on the sensor. Not happy, need to send the camera in. Also they are extremely overpriced.
Outrageously expensive but incredibly effective2009-09-18
After having almost destroyed my D300 sensor by using scotch tape and then a Q-Tip and lens cleaning fluid, I was ready to package my camera and send it off to Nikon USA for an expensive repair. So much for my Nikon D300 aftermarket manual's advice on cleaning sensors. Scotch tape DOES leave sticky residue and Q-Tips (even covered with lens tissue) leave a mess of cotton anf lens fiber. A test picture after the cleaning looked like a snow storm. I gambled $50 on the Sensor Swabs and E2 cleaning fluid.

The Sensor Swab is a 2 cent piece of plastic covered with lens tissue selling for $3/each, but it is exactly the right size for the sensor and leaves NO trace of fiber or streaks on the sensor. Similarly, the E2 cleaning solution leaves no residue on the sensor. With just one swab I was able to completely clean my sensor. There are some very helpful videos on YouTube that will show you exactly how to clean the sensor using the Sensor Swab and E2. I suggest you view it before beginning the process.

In summary, the markup on the Sensor Swab is unconscionable, but in comparison with the cost of sending the camera to Nikon, it was a real bargain and worked very well leaving no dust or other residue. If you have a DSLR you will eventually need to clean the sensor. Prepare yourself and best of luck.
Criminally Overpriced2009-09-15
The swabs work as advertised, but at $3.50 a pop, they are highway robbery. Make sure to consult your camera manual before cleaning your sensor. There is a screen/filter in front of the sensor and you need to tell the camera you want to clean the sensor to get the screen/filter to retract out of the way.
Sensor SWAB Type 22009-09-11
I have used the Sensor swabs and Eclipse solution on 2 occasions although they do the job you will need to use a least 4-6 swabs to fully clean the sensor, rarely would one swab do the job.
Great, but could be better2009-05-28
Let me just say that the swab worked perfectly and cleaned my sensor very well. They could have a little more care put into their construction, but I have no complaints about their functionality.

Printer Buying Guide
What kind of printer is best for me? Choosing the right printer can be a daunting task. There are several different types of printing technology to choose from, each suited for different needs. Printers come in all shapes and sizes, from tiny travel companions to workgroup workhorses; some are geared toward photographers, others are for multitaskers. And the many specifications for resolution and speed can be misleading. As a rule of thumb, inkjet printers are a must for long-lasting photos, while laser printers are best to produce speedy text documents. User types: Home user | Budding novelist | Digital photographer | Entrepreneur | Corporate cog | Frequent flier Home user  The home user demands a lot from a printer. The device must tackle everything from a book report to a newsletter to the occasional snapshot--all without breaking the budget. This is why for most home users, the best choice is a versatile and affordable printer, such as a small-office/home-office color ...
Digital camera batteries
Batteries are vital for all photography and makiing sure that you have a spare set is essential if you intend to take alot of pictures. Print digital also recommend that when deciding upon a digital camera keep in mind what sort of batteries it takes. Does it take rechargeable batteries, are the batteries built and do you have to plug it into the mains, or does the camera only take standard batteries, if so then it can become exspensive if you are a keen photographer and use the camera alot. There are three types of rechargeable batteries: NiCD, NiMH and Lithium-Ion. Nickel Metal Hydride are the most popular rechargeable batteries at present. They hold more charge than their counter parts NiCD and don't suffer from memory effect. The one small down fall of these batteries is that they will loose a small amount of charge even if they are not being used, so be sure to check the batteries before using them. When you purchase a new digital camera make sure to ask what type of battery ...
