I own several Canon DSLR cameras, which are prone to collect dust, since the camera body's interior must be exposed when changing lenses. The sensor retains a charge even if the camera is powered down while the lens is removed. In this condition, dust is attracted to the infrared cover plate above the sensor. The dust if not removed, shows up in the digital image. The product being reviewed here removes dust by first charging the bristles of the brush by blowing air from a can of compressed air over the bristles. The brush in this charged state nicely removes the dust by passing it over the sensor in a side to side sweeping motion.

Using the Visible Dust brush (let's call it version one) dust is easy to remove. Other means, require several attemps to do so. This is where I have found the older style Visible Dust products really shine. I say older style, because associated with the new rules around airline carry-ons, canned air is not allowed. Looking to meet the needs of digital photographers, Visible Dust subsequently developed a product that achieved a charged state by rapidly rotating a new style brush with fewer bristles of smaller size to form the brush. I find this newer brush lacks the consistent effectiveness of the old brush, like I have.
