What do you guys think of firefly air blower? This thing blows ion charged air into sensor to lift charged dust particle away from the sensor. Canon 1DM4,7D, Rebel XT

This thing blows ion charged air into sensor to lift charged dust particle away from the sensor. http://www.nrdfirefly.com/default.aspx If all you have to clean up is truly dry dust particles, that would work OK. However, you will find that from time to time there are sticky little particles - probably lubricant from inside the camera - that get on the sensor's filter. Only a "wet" cleaning can remove that properly. Skip Douglas

If there were, all others methods would die out as everyone migrated to "the best method" They all have their place and they all can work poorly or work well depending on how it's done. Not sure why, but call me JJ.

I just got mine and planning to use it once it arrives! The rocket is almost a necessary part of SLR photography. No matter what cleaning method you choose, the first step should be to begin with the rocket. Not sure why, but call me JJ.
