I don't know of any bona fide, examples of cameras being ruined but I
have ruined clear plastic parts cleaning them with off brand caned air
cleaners. I have had no problems with relatively low pressure systems
such as dust off, as long as you handle them correctly., (as Bill
described). The brand I currently use is 3M Dust remover, it's less
expensive than dust off but just as reliable.

Whats your favorite way to clean the sensor in your Pentax DSLR?
I always make people cringe when I say this, but I use canned gas,
specifically Dust-Off.
To all the nattering nabobs, I say I've yet to damage anything ever
using canned gas.
I ran a poll one time over on ForumsNeurotica when the whimperers of
doom cried that surely the sun would explode and all life in the solar
system would be obliterated in a cataclysm of fusion because of my
habits regarding sensor cleaning, asking if anyone could come up with
a bona fide and reputable report about canned gas wrecking a camera.
The silence was astounding.
Caveat: Always squirt a wee shot of gas anywhere but inside your
camera before blowing off the sensor on the off chance that there
actually is some liquid propellant in the nozzle.
On the very rare occasion that I need a wet clean, I use a visible
dust swab and whatever is in the ridiculously overpriced bottle of poo
that I had to buy to keep my pusher happy.
