The stiff, hard-to-hold momentary power switch and the oddball batteries would be bad enough. The real problem is that the fixed-focus depth-of-field loupe does NOT focus on my sensor.
Delkin claims they have designed the scope specifically to work with Canon and Nikon DSLRs. I have a Nikon D-200; with the Delkin scope I get a very sharp view of the perimeter of the mirror box, but down where it matters there is a blurred green rectangle. That is the sensor, and there is no way to adjust the the scope to focus on it. The only way I'll ever know it's dirty is by looking at ruined photographs.
Of course, I can just clean my sensor using my Visible Dust cleaning products (which work very well), but the whole idea of the SensorScope is to know when to clean and when NOT to clean, since cleaning should be avoided when unnecessary.
I attempted to give this product a no-star rating, but Amazon wouldn't let me do it...$50 wasted. It is irritating and mystifying to see a simple, good idea so poorly executed.
