Summary: Dust Aid Platinum - Winner

Comment: This product works great on all digital SLR sensors. Used it on both Cannon and Olympus products and it is far better than the traditional suggestions for cleaning stuck on Dust.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Ineffective

Comment: I used this on a dirty Canon 40D sensor. I took "before" shots to compare to the "after" shots. My "after" shots looked almost identical to the "before" shots. It appears that the adhesive used is too weak to be effective at removing dust. Next I tried a LensPen sensor cleaner and was able to remove much of my dust. Also, the cleaning tip of the wand is contaminated by any accidental touching by your finger or internal parts of the camera. In order to clean the tip should this contamination appear, they tell you to buy yet another one of their products. If you don't clean the tip, you will get smudges on your sensor. Dust-Aid is a disappointing product.
