I think I will be ok using the CO2. It has not failed me yet when

DSLR cameras need to be cleaned more often. IMO, that makes them more

finished, I turn
By the way, I would avoid using canned compressed air under any
circumstances. I've ruined several negatives with that stuff. I
wouldn't let it get anywhere near the CCD.
