Sensor Cleaning - American Recorder?

Any hands on experience with this company's products? I'm in a tight spot and the only product carried locally is made by American Recorder. I would prefer dropping a little more on the Copperhill product but I've got no choice unless I wait

None at all - never heard of them before.

However, looking at the image, it seems they have a cleaning solution, swabs, and a compressed CO2 system for blowing (which I personally think is better than a rocket blower which I never had much luck with).

Well drastic times call for...Whatever you can buy!
I got a 1.3 crop kit, 12 swabs and the cleaning solution (no way was I going for the CO2 system) and it works great. Cleaned in about 15 seconds! Good to go.
*Edit I should be more clear, I did go with the American Recorder swabs and cleaning solution.

I would go for the rocket blower and copperhill...first time using the copperhill cleaning kit is an almost heart attack inducer . Afterwards it is a breeze...

You got that right.

What I find strange (after 1 1/2 years of use) is that in the first few months, my 30D's sensor needed almost weekly wet cleaning - in fact I went through a pack of 12 swabs in less than a month.

In the past year, I've only swabbed twice.

My theory: Much of the "dust" isn't dust - it's lubricant from the moving parts that gets "flung off" and onto the sensor. After a few thousand shots, the "loose lubricant" (for lack of a better term) is gone, and only "real dust" is the culprit.

Since "real dust" is airborne and is floating everywhere (think what you see when a sunbeam shines into a darkened room), it can enter at anytime during a lens change or when a zoom lens is racked in and out.

This type of dust (being airborne) can be easily removed with a blast of air (or compressed gas as I prefer). After a day in the field yesterday, I found some boogers which were gone with a half dozen quick blasts.

I sincerely believe that wet cleaning is generally required more frequently with a new camera than later in the life of the camera. It's certainly been my experience, and I've talked to others that don't disagree with this line of thought.

That has a lot of truth to it and is exactly why the Copperhill team recommends wet cleaning Canon cameras over the brush to sweep away the dust. Somehow, Nikon doesn't have quite the same issue.
