Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Giottos AA1900 Rocket Air Blaster Large - Black
Customer Review: Best blower on the market
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had my D40 for 2 years - and have experienced dust many times. An easy way to find dust on your sensor is to put focus on infinity,F-stop to 26, and take a picture of the blue sky. You'll find it if it is there.
I've been using the little baby ear and nose bulb blowers with good results. I half expected this thing to be just like that. When it came in I was surprised how huge it was. It may be big, but man does it work. You still may want to carry around a small bulb in your case when on the road because this sucker is big - but for most dust, this thing will do better than anything else.
I've never had to use the wet method.
As an added benefit - this works perfectly for goosing my 18 month old.
Customer Review: Finally, a blower that works
Summary: 5 Stars
I was quite annoyed when I found my D70 had come out of the box with dust on the lens. The place I bought it would only send it away to Nikon for cleaning, but a friend with the same camera advised me to get a dust blower and showed me how I should be able to blow the dust off myself.
the first blower I tried didn't have enough power and the dust remained. I had almost decided to take the camera to get it cleaned when I read a review that suggested this one. I took a chance, and after about 15 minutes of trying, checking, and trying again, I finally have a dust free sensor!
this is the most valuable piece of equipment that I have purchased for my camera, and I recommend this to anyone with a similar problem.
Customer Review: What a bargain...
Summary: 5 Stars
Every picture of mine that included larger portions of the sky would have these stubborn spores on it. Pretty infuriating, especially when you got the shot just like you wanted it. Yes, you can always remove those on Photoshop (or cheaper yet, The Gimp); but isn't it cool when you look at a picture and say: "that is it, nothing to do on it!" ??
And it wasn't just the sky. Any off-white but light plain colored background would suffer visibly from the acursed specks.
With this blower, greatly priced (pity that Adorama doesn't have free shipping though), I put my camera on the tripod, pointed it down, squirted three or four times - and gone are the specs!!!
Great buy for DSLR owners.
Customer Review: Giottos 7.5" Rocket Blaster - Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the 7.5" Rocket Blaster. The bulb is a soft rubber that is easy to squeeze and is big enough to deliver sufficient quantity of air to blow away any debris. Also features a built-in stand to keep the nozzle out of the dirt and a one-way inlet valve to keep the air moving in one direction so you do not inadvertently suck up some dust and blow it back into your camera. It's a little big for a gadget bag, but don't be afraid to scrunch it up to take up less room. Better than aerosol because you won't run out of air and many manufacturers recommend against using pressurized aerosol cans of air in their cameras.
I give this five stars because it delivers a strong, clean blast of air every time.
Customer Review: Well worth the cost
Summary: 5 Stars
My Pentax *ist DL had dust on the sensor but then it wouldn't power it up any more so I replaced it with a newer Pentax with more megapixels. This morning something inside of me said to try and power it up again. It came up right away and has worked all day. I took it to the local camera store. The owner said he was confident that he could get rid of the dust by using the AA 1900 and if he could I would have to buy it.
He did it, it worked the first time and $16.00 later I have a fully functioning camera that I'd given up for dead. I was going to sell the kit lens but I didn't get around it. I'm glad I didn't. Now I have hundreds of photos to run through Photoshop to get rid of the dust spots.
