    Yeah that stuff looks good, but more expensive on a per clean basis!

    if I were to do that on a regular basis the cost of cleaning the sensor would be close to my mortgage!

    good for travelling again, and use on the road if the need were to arise.
    Cleaning the sensor at home before an air travel trip would be best advised.

    I may get a kit one day if it's as effective(at 100% removal) as wet cleaning is.

    Yes, the kit comes with the dry clean (stamp thing) and wet clean. I prefer just to do a wet clean and get it all every so often. I dont see me using the dry clean all that often, but, its handy if there is a bad lump of something just arrived

    I also use the Copperhill swipe method and have done for a good number of years for my cameras, my fiancée's and a number of my friends.. I find it works extremely well and has never caused me problems, but obviously you have to be careful and do it at your own risk..

    although I only have a 40D, i would not try cleaning the sensor again and let the pros do it (or at least until my extended warranty expires)..

    the first time I tried using the giotto blower on the sensor, it just moved the dust and didn't blew it off the sensor..

    Just for the archives (I used this thread as I needed my sensor cleaned this week), Kayell in Brisbane over in Yeerongpilly also do dry or wet sensor cleans. 24 hour turn around and in my case a brilliant job done.
