what is the difference between sensor swab type 3 and type 2? i own a Nikon D7000.

Type 3 is for full-frame sensors, such as those on the D3, D800, D700, and D600. Type 2 is for smaller sensors, such as those on the D7000.

I think the 3 is for full frame cameras. I hope that helps. I D7000 is full frame so Id get that one.

Type 2 im assuming is smaller. My camera has a 35mm sensor type 3 works perfectly.

the difference is the size, type 3 is for FX sensor and type 2 for DX, which is what you need.

I am a fan of the Sony. Here is a site that I have found helpful with a stat comparison. The sensor in the Sony is also in the much more expensive Nikon d5000 and d7000 and the Pentax k5. Sony makes the sensors, I think this gives you just too much bang for your buck, this sensor is very good at low light, one of the major reasons I am upgrading from a superzoom myself. http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/Cameras/Compare-Camera-Sensors

Hi Its a CCD sensor. The users guide should show specs for both image sensors.

I shoot with 1d's which have the 1.3 Sensor, not sure if the Type 2's are for full frame or 1.6. You might try calling the Company directly and ask.I will say this, they work great...

The SX120 at ISO 800 and 1600 is way better than the SX110, this is the biggest difference I've seen. Search for some reviews that have the same shots at ISO1600 for both cameras and compare the two side by side and it'll jump out at you. I'm not so sure the slightly smaller sensor has much difference, sensor technology improves very slowly too, so maybe it has better signal to noise ratio even though it's more MP on a slightly smaller surface area.I don't like the SX200 for a bunch of reasons, the always up flash is annoying. It has a slower lens than the SX110/120, and it's way more expensive. The SX120 at ISO 800 and 1600 is way better than the SX110, this is the biggest difference I've seen.

You can use it on a two-third sensor too. I do. The sides of the image just kisses the edge of the frame (Landscape mode) however, the top and bottom of the frame is cropped so you don't get a complete circle.

Yes you can use on the sensor... the sensor in all DSLRs is covered by glass... you're not touching the actual sensor. That being said you're best using an anti static brush and wet clean only if needed.

Thanks Kin.Actually, I'm looking for something smaller than a reflex on which I could occasionnaly use my nikon lenses.After using a bit an oly e-p2, i'm a bit confused ; it's better than I thought, and has the IS build in.Does anyone know if nikon will release a micro 4/3 camera soon ?

I'm looking forward to getting this one as well.

"Actually, the T3 has the better image quality. Cramming more megapixels onto the same size chip, just gives you a noisier picture, with less dynamic range."That's the problem with generalizations - they aren't always true. The sensor in the T3 is one or two generations behind the T3i's sensor. Sensor technology has improved with each generation. Even though it has fewer pixels, for example, my old 8MP Canon 30D certainly does not offer better image quality than my 18MP 7D. In fact, there's simply no contest between the two at ISO 1600.

Should be type 2 (for crop sensor such as Canon T3i and Txi, Nikon D90, D300s, D3x00, D5x00, and D7x00)

I'm using a T2 but according to Canon the T2 and T3 sensors are the same. Limited range, watch out for camera position in the sun as full sun on the cameras sensor seems to further limit the range. Love it just because sometimes there is nobody around to ask to take that picture of your family or group.

I am very sorry I gave u wrong info before---didn't read ur question carefully. The answer was based on the Nikon 8397! I actually returned the Simmons for inconsistent readings! The Nikon 8397 is far superior, and for me the price difference was worth it!

As far as I know the swabs are made for all cameras. The secret is you need to know the size of your sensor, width, to get the right size.

Are you 100% sure it was ISO 640 and not 6400? I think at 640, shooting at 1.8 with a high amount of grain is unusual for this camera- especially since the D700 has excellent high ISO performance. I don't start to really notice grain until I'm shooting at ISO 3200 or greater. Did you happen to zoom in to the photos? Which could make the grain more noticeable..? Oh yea, check to see if your sensor or camera lens is dirty.

It's the same sensor. But what I found out is the one i purchased seems to be used. The company i bought it from will say different but had to replace batteries,one didnt come with mounting plate and another had signs of being mounted once before. With all that said they work great and have no issues with sensors performance. Hope this helps?

Everything I'm reading could be applied to my S5 Nikon coolpix; blurs at low light w/o flash. if it's a sensor problem, then they are all using the same sensor.
