I came across this site and thought it was a interesting way to clean a sensor.
While I have not had to yet with my 30d, it will be something to look forward to in the near future. Just wondering what you Pro's think? Would you try it?:dunno

    I am just to impatient to wait an hour for something to dry....so it is the copperhill method for me also...if it needs a wet cleaning.

    Disco film podcast
    This german podcaster, whose podcast is in english, did an interview with the inventor. It was originally for cleaning vinyl records. But the video looks pretty good. I'd probably try it if it was easier to get.

    But the Disk washer was a smash hit here and its several incarnations worked very well cleaning those grooves:D....still have one that need to be vacced to make sure all linty stuff is removed before next use:D...oh yeah you can clean CD/DVD's with the Disk Washer also..but it is a tad large for sensor cleaningmwink.gif

    Your welcome. Read one thing about someone having a scratch in their sensor and after he used it the scratch stood out more. Must have really cleaned the valley of the scratch making it more apparent.

    Um, no thanks. I'll stick with the Copper Hill method. The idea of painting a stick film onto the sensor which you must then peel off just sounds like problems waiting to happen to me, especially considering this is not the intended use for the product.
