Although you make good points about this product... I would never recommend
using compressed air in the chamber of a digital camera. If you use an
aerosol/compressed air it becomes very easy get liquid proplent on the CCD.
I also usually recommend against using a brush of any kind... as the
bristles can damage the extremely delicate filters that sit overtop of the
sensor. Best idea - a blower... which you can get for a few bucks from any
camera store.


Better to vacuum. Blowers move things around and drive particles ever deeper
into the camera to cause future problems or merely come back and repeat what
they were doing. A very low pressure vacuum, mind you, with a light brushing to
dislodge particles.
