Heads up!
Received this in yesterday's mail ...

Dear Canon 5D Users,

We have heard reports in the industry of problems with cleaning the sensor filter of the Canon 5D which has a tin oxide coating.

Although Dust-Aid has been tested and does not interfere with the tin oxide coating, we are in the process of conducting further testing on the Canon 5D.

If you have a Canon 5D we ask that you wait to use the product until we can complete our testing.

Please contact us directly if you have any questions or concerns.

There was a review of this product on another forum that kind of scares me. The first couple of pads tried fell apart coming off of the backing material. The foam split, leaving the tacky stuff and some foam stuck to the backing; not a condition I would like to see on a sensor.

It worked liked a jewel on my 30D. I used it just recently. But caveat emptor. One success is not statistically significant.
