First off, I am not advocating any brands of equipment or "your" ability to do this. If you try it and screw up your camera, don't call me!!!!
Now that that's over with, let's get on with what this is about. There have been a few spots on the sensor of my D40 for awhile now. The good part was they were on the outer corners so I was pretty good at croping them out or keeping them out of the shot alltogether. The bad thing was, I had 4 dust spots on my sensor!!!!!
I tried the large dust blowers and while it worked on some spots, these few spots would never go away.
My new body, D200!!!!! :D will be here any day now and I thought, why not try one of those cleaners on the D40 before I try to sell it. I ordered the Dust-Aid Platinum. After reading the directions a few times, I thought to myself, "this will never work." I thought, if the blower couldn't move the dust, what chance does this thing have.
I was wrong!!!!!

The pic is the almond kitchen counter. Overhead lighting accounts for the shadows. It took me a couple times to get to them being on the outside edges. I'm impressed.
