Byron,

There are many good systems out there, depending on the type of grime your sensor develops. Sometimes, only a liquid method will work. Sometimes, a brush or blower is all that's required.

Read the thread above and I think you'll get an idea for what's available, and the costs involved.

FWITW, I have never encountered a time when a blower/brush was enough. It must just be me, but whenever I clean the sensor, I find that 90% of the gunk is only removed with a liquid method. Hoping that "this time it will be different," I always try the softer approach. When I find that it didn't change anything, I bring out the Cooper Hill stuff and go after it.

As an aside, I taught my brother how to clean his 30D sensor a couple of months ago (it was about a month old and hardly used, so it can be argued that this was put there by Canon during manufacturing) and none of the stuff on his sensor was effected by anything other the the liquid method.

Just my $0.02
