Thanks...I am actually willing to pay someone to do this for me....but not the crazy prices they charge to clean it at a camera shop or from the dealer

Darren, I think Mike at Knights Camera(Across Mill Plain from WalMart) will do them for $39.00, but call him as I'm not 100% on that price.

I have cleaned my D70 and my D2x sensors using a VisibleDust brush. Seems to work well for me.

Darren,
I regularly clean my sensor using pec pads taped onto a plastic fork from Taco Bell. I use a solution called Pec-12 which I purchased from Pro Photo supply in Portland. It's actually quite simplle but you have to be careful at the same time.

I've cleaned my Rebel with the Compressed Air and a Nylon brush method with great success.

I clean my 20D with the copperhill "spatula" brush all the time. It's not that difficult to do, really unless you get to full frame and then it is a lot more challenging from what I've heard.
