Jorge, Fuji recommend using a swab daubed in Ethanol (95% or better) or EE Cleaner (Olympus) if a blower doesn't do the trick. Do they know something that Nikon and Canon do not or is it a case of they don't know while the others do? I assume you double-check to make sure the vacuum isn't set to blow before using it! <G> Personally, I'd like to know how to clean the back of my Mac Pro keyboard. I happen to see the underside the other day and now get the heebiejeebies when I go near it. Tried the vacuum trick ages ago and also opening it but to no avail.
