I did 3 methods in the past -I kinda don't clean sensors anymore in the new cameras because the come with a new coating that seems to repel things from building up.
In this order when I have to clean a sensor I try: 1) Blowinng -with a blower, I use some cheap Giottos blower 2) A brush -I use this expensive "Sensor Brush" from VisibleDust but there is a DIY version in http://www.prime-junta.net/pont/How_to/a_Brush_Your_Sensor/a_Brush_Your_Sensor.html 3) Finally if everything else fails I do the "wet method" (AKA "Copperhill method") I got my stuff from www.copperhillimages.com but there are some disposable ones called "Sensor Swabs" I never brought it to a shop so I don't know what's reasonable. PS: If you want to DIY and can't build up courage let me know if you want me to help.
