I just use the button on the camera. No spit needed.

Was in PC World the other evening and one of the staff was cleaning the sensor on a Canon 500D with a duster :shake:

Nice gesture from Nikon, shame it's not a more central location such as Selfridges or one of the London stations.

DIY for me, but if the cash is going to a good cause it sounds good.
