I've cleaned my D700 (same sensor) with a Visible Dust sensor swab kit.
It worked, not sure what else to say.

I think I got them off Amazon for 30 odd quid.
Flash In The Pan is now selling something very similar for less money.

Here's my kit.

but I'd still look at FITP's option.

I never do more than a blow with a rocket blower - if the sensor gets dirtier than that will clear I go to a pro for cleaning. Arounf £30 for a D3 - worth it. I probably get this done once a year.

Ok thanks both I have a rocket blower and it will not shift the dust and pro cleaning makes sense for a D3 ... But thanks cyclone for the link ..But I have to say me and DIY don't do very well ...Lol
