I've used canned air a couple of times, though I'm a little more leery
of it than Bill R., mainly because I'm a tad paranoid about the idea of
a freak propellant discharge.
Usually, I use one of those nasal bulb aspirators (http://is.gd/l6xxr3)
with a small hole punched in the back and a pet nursing nipple
(http://is.gd/qXOmmK) attached to the end, trimmed back just enough to
allow air to pass through it without too much effort, but small enough
to make sure a fairly concentrated stream of air passes through, and to
prevent any dust other debris from getting inside the bulb.
The bulb set me back about two bucks, and I had the nursing nipple left
over from feeding a puppy that lost its mother.
I almost hit the floor when I saw the price of the sticky-type cleaning
wands at the camera shop -- $89.00 if I recall correctly. If my sensor
ever gets that dirty, I'll just take it in and have the thing cleaned.
My two-dollar air blaster hasn't failed me yet.
