I have the Rocket Blower, and the E2 and proper paddle and swabs, but after RD1 and DSLR experiences, where cleaning is just constant (with a lot of lens changes), I'm actually going to leave tiny dust specs seen shooting the sky at f16, and only clean if I can see them at large 100%+ crops down to f5.6/f8.

Pretty much spotless. If I start seeing crud on my images then I'll initially go for a dry clean with the visible dust arctic butterfly and if that's no good it's wet clean time. That said I'm not paranoid about it unless the debris is in a place like the top of the sensor where it appears in every shot with sky.

I thought that was the bottom of the sensor...
I use just the blower and Arctic Butterfly.

The SD800 is $109 on the visibledust site, unless I am missing something.
But I'm happy with the rocket blower, no contact with the sensor, and if I were to get stuff that the rocket blower didn't get, I'd use the approved E2 solution with proper swabs. But Thanks.

Sometimes different vendors price their products differently, buying directly from the manufacturer tends to be a bit cheaper. I can sell the SD800 for $125.00 plus shipping and the 724 for $90.00 plus shipping.
Thank you,

it is bad, but nevertheless I used it that way for maybe 1000 pictures and I can notice it in only 20 or so.
