Paul Sir, last month I bought the largest sized rocket blower for that mighty blast of air - Giottos AA 1900. I made sure this was the original and not a cheap Chinese copy. I intended to use it for blasting the sensor, mirror, viewing screen, viewfinder and the lens to dislodge dust.
Then I decided to read up the internet for some resources and advice on use of rocket blowers. Here is a horror story:- I blasted the sensor with my Rocket Air Blower a couple of times. I then checked a blank screen shot and was horrified, When previously there were one or two dust spots, the sensor now had a dozen. Short story. The rubber inside the bulb of my 2-year old blower had crumbled and let loose the havoc on the sensor. It is best to use a good quality sensor swab and a bottle of sensor cleaning fluid. Even that spinning brush stuff with electrostatic technology is suspect. That gooey swab is still worse and some were withdrawn from the market. Good luck.
