Just saw this over at Steves Digicams:

http://www.intemos.com/USA/dslrclean2.asp

Cost only about $3/cleaning, or about 1/2 cost of normal cleaning solutions.

I couldn't have said it any better.

What did you intend to say?

1. Set your digital camera to sensor clean mode (enabling access to the sensor chamber).
2. Insert the DSLRClean™ stick so that the tip touches the sensor surface.
3. Apply pressure to the stick until the tip bends to a right-angle and forms a shoe on the
sensor. Figure 1
4. Move the DSLRClean™ stick around the sensor as shown in Figure 2.
5. Follow the sequence from 1 to 4 so that the DSLRClean™ stick returns to the starting
position.
6. Remove the DSLRClean™ stick from the chamber.
7. Reset the camera to normal operating mode.
For very dirty sensors, you may need two attempts to clean the sensor.
When you move the DSLRClean™ across the sensor, it will feel a little ‘sticky’. This is
intentional; the DSLRClean™ sticks are not sticky and contain no cleaning agents. This is the
result of the slight vacuum that is created by the DSLRClean™ stick.

Maybe we should wish for drive thru camera cleaning franchises in the metro areas... or some help; golfers have caddys, what do photographers have?

Oh nothing...I just bumped this up, because it fell off the front page in an hour or so that day it was posted. I am thinking of getting this product and trying it and was wondering if someone else had tried it already. Seems easier to use than a PEC pad with liquid cleaner.
