Yeah, I use compressed air (Kenair) and have no problems. Rather than a single continuous squirt, I let loose three or four short ones direct at nothing to make sure there's no liquid ejecting, then two quick blasts into the gaping maw of the camera body. The sensor cleaning mode allows access with the mirror up and the shutter open, but apparently avoids charging the sensor itself. Tips to avoid freezing propellant from ejecting: shake well, hold can vertically, keep it short! I also don't get too close with the nozzle - the pressure is quite severe - so i go from about 6 inches away from the camera. Never had a problem in 2 and a half years.
