I was thinking that if I use the Rocket blower I will remove the dust from the sensor, but the dust will remain in the camera and eventually find its way back to the charged sensor. So, have you tried to use the vacuum cleaner (from some distance) while you use the Rocket blower. I mean it couldn't hurt, could it??? 5D Classic, 6D, 7D, Canon 16-35 f/4 L IS USM, Canon 24-105 f/4 L, Zeiss 35 f/2, Sigma 50 f/1.4 Art, Canon 100 f/2.8L Macro, Sigma APO 100-300mm f/4 EX IF HSM, Kenko 1.4X, Canon Speedlite 580EX, Canon Speedlite 90EX, Benro C-227, Benro KS-1, HP Photosmart 8750

More info | Oct 27, 2006 05:30 | #6 How do you propose to hold the vacuum, the blower and the camera? No point turning it into a juggling act. The blower should remove all but the most stubborn of dust bunnies. Actually, running a vacuum might stir up more dust than it removes. Certainly you are welcome to try it....but I don't see it as being a big bonus. People that know me call me Dan

If the vaccuum managed to actually suck up the dust that came from your sensor, I'm sure there would be more dust to replace it.
