[QUOTE="NVSteve, post: 167046, member: 13248"] I go through 4 or 5 swabs every cleaning before the sensor is spotless. You can buy the pec pads pre-cut into the strips, or just buy the pec pads and cut them yourself. I bought the pads and used a large paper cutter to cut them to size. I only blow a few puffs of air before cleaning, then use the pads, then a few more puffs of air to remove any lint that might be there from the pads. I also picked up a sensor pen when I was having so many spots on the first camera body I had, and it works quite well. One of the cleaning guys out on the net said he only uses a sensor stamp to clean sensors. Not sure how well it works as I can't really seem to find any reviews outside of Amazon product reviews. I just want to beat all of the various forum posters over the head-the ones who keep saying "all sensors get spots...not a big deal, just blow it off and you're good to go...super easy to fix in photoshop, etc." My current body is doing fairly okay. At least it is far better than my first one, but shooting from F11-F22 is pretty much out of the question unless my sensor had been cleaned seconds before. A couple of spots once in a while is one thing, but 15 or more at F16 is a bit much for me. [/QUOTE]
