| I am not going to put tape (magic or not) on my sensor when there are so many other easy and safer ways to clean it... |

Haha. Scotch Tape to clean the sensor? That's on par with using sandpaper to clean your teeth!

Dude, it's not "scotch tape", it's "magic tape" by the same manufacturer. Works on a completely different principle, seems to be residue free. There are LOTS of people in various forums who say they use this system and it works wonderfully. Our own Colda uses it and swears by it. I've tested it on filters and it seems to be effective, no residue whatsoever that I can find.
Everyone's entitled to their opinion, I guess, but I think it's odd that so many people in this (and an earlier) thread who have never tried it are outright MOCKING it even though those who DO use it are entirely happy with it.
Bear in mind that you're not cleaning the actual sensor, but the glass filter that COVERS the sensor and protects it.

I had to clean my 10D's sensor today for the first time. Aside from the shakes and shallow breathing, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. ;O)
I contemplated using the magic tape method, but something in my gut just tells me that using a $1.97 roll of tape to clean a $1200 camera's innards just isn't right. Believe me, I'm a cheap person...as a public school employee I have to be...but I went with the tried-and-true copperhill method and got excellent results. Before and after are below for your convenience.

Looks nice and clean Laurie. My sensor is dirty, too, but I'm not sure if I should really try to clean it or not. ;-)

Yeah, Scotch Tape. When I say scotch tape i mean the tape in the green package that we all know. :) ---> //multimedia.mmm.com/mws/mediawebserver.dyn?111111MKW5618Gd1qGd111PJX52ccccB-

Some brown paint should do the trick!
