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.

Not a bad idea BUT you might want to get one of those little ESD vacuums for
computer
use... Reason is that airflow past some materials (such as G10, circuit
board material) will
create a static charge. (ESD vacuums don't ionize the air, the nozzles and
hoses are slightly
conductive so that a charge can't build up.)
