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 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.
I try to just use Dust-Off brand canned gas, not generics.
I've never had a problem, but then I don't really go looking for
problems either.
Did I show you guys the video of my ist-D getting doused with the stuff?
I've found that both my Pentaxes and Fujis don't seem to attract much dust.
