After reading many articles on the web about the Pec-Pad wipes, I am convinced the Sensor Swabs used to perform web cleaning of the CCD/CMOS sensors are just way over-priced. Pec-Pad wipes will do and have done very well cleaning sensors over many years. I just started using the Copper Hill method a week ago, and I am quite pleased with the result. While I cannot recommend it to anyone, because of liability issues, I will certainly keep on using it for my own cleaning. (Sending my camera in to Nikon for wet cleaning will easily set me back $50, and that's not yet including shipping and handling charges.)
The oddest things I found though ... I cannot find the Pec-Pad wipes on Henry's website. In fact, there are only two sources for Pec-Pad wipes I can find in Canada: on amazon.ca and at Vistek's. The Pec-Pad 100 4x4 package sold through amazon.ca would cost me over $20 including tax and shipping. I will just drop by Vistek's to pick one up for about $15 including tax.
It really sucks if you live too far away from a major city and would have to order these items online in Canada, but it sure beats $50 and time lost leaving your camera with Nikon. If you follow the Copper Hill method however, just know it's not sanctioned by Nikon/Canon, so do so at your own risk.
