    After watching this video clip I purchased several of these cleaning items and attacked my sensor. I am not sure but I think canon repair got lubricant on my sensor when they repaired my shutter. It was so bad I could see it without a loupe. It took two applications of the VisibleDust EZ swabs using both cleaning fluids and two applications with the DustAid Platinum DSLR Sensor Cleaner but it looks good now. Maybe my imagination but pictures seem less flat now.
    Thanks for sharing the video clip.

    Great to read. Likewise - I thought I had be extraordinarily careful - there were plenty of dots on 5dIII and a surprising amount on the 1dx given its low shutter count, I didn't look at the M. I plan to undertake a cleaning party on Saturday when my daughter visits w/ the t3i.
    If you see me with a wrench, call 911
