...but then they would say that wouldn't they? I mean after all, why would someone pay the £60+ they're asking for it when you could do pretty much the same thing for under £10?

I also took the info given on the Visible Dust site as well info from Petteri's Pontifications and used my own judgement on this.

As for scratching the sensor, well considering how light the "pressure" I used was (barely dragging it across), and how one might use a Pecpad or similar, I can't see it being more destructive. The brush I have is also very soft with long fine bristles.

If some see what I & probably many others are doing as risky, then time will tell, but I'd probably guess that by the time any significant damage was done (if any), I'd already have bought a new camera anyway, plus there's always the insurance on it
