Agree. I won't clean that stuff on my own. When I get back from San Francisco, my gear is going to the shop. I want a pro to clean the sensor.

Hehe-- I'm just looking at it from the perspective of-- you just paid $125 to get your sensor cleaned. A week later, you're swapping lenses and get a dust particle on the sensor. Is it ok to try to dislodge it with the Giotto, or is there a risk in doing that?
Again, not so much an issue for me, but I recommend the Giotto to friends and don't want to unwittingly give them bad advice because I'm ignorant about something.
I trust Casey's opinion with this stuff-- just looking to educate myself.

Keith, are you referring to the air rocket. I use mine regularly. Take lens off, hold body with opening facing down toward ground, blast air and let gravity do it's job.
Another tip to help keep your sensor clean is to never switch lenses with the camera turned on. Electromagnetism will suck dust in like crazy.

such a boneheaded obviously thing when you think about it. when you're in a rush you easily forget but once I stopped switching with the camera on I noticed I wasn't cleaning as often.

Thank you Casey and everyone else for the feedback. Casey, I asked this question on this (non-special car) forum because I know we have a few pros, a few amateurs, and a few clowns with cameras (ie-me)! Awesome advice, and while I enjoy detailing the interior of my car, the camera interior is best left to the pros. Given my location, I plan to UPS her out for a good cleaning.:
