Quoting Bipin Gupta <[email protected]>:
By jove, Mark Sir, canned air is never ever used on sensors. The propellant inside is actually wet and can leave droplets when agitated or when the air is almost depleted. This product was developed in the desktop era circa 1980 to clean key boards, printers etc.
If I remember correctly Bill Robb used to routinely use canned air to clean the sensors of his DSLRs. Based on that experience I bought a can of 'Dust Away' which I used on my *ist DS a couple of times. Worked like a charm.
However, since the introduction of dust removal routines on more recent cameras, I've never felt the need to resort to canned air or wet swab cleaning.
