I used a vacuum cleaner One Time to suck the dust out.. Simply enough, right. Well it pulled the dust away from the sides and actually stuck more dust on my sensor, not sure if this cause static electricity, or pulled the dust in from outside the camera, but lots more dust on sensor.. It also pulled Oil from the blades onto my sensor. Now I use the proper tools, just so you know.
Would you even consider removing tar spots from the paintwork on your shiny new car with something like a jackhammer? Then why are we even talking about this? What some appear to overlook is that we are dealing with an EXTREMELY delicate measuring instrument capable of differentiating single photons of light. Even utilizing the instruments and cleaning methods designed specifically for the purpose requires great caution and delicacy. There is enough dust circulating in any room environment without stirring it up even more with a voluminous blast of air onto a naked camera sensor. Forgive me but I can't fathom why anyone would entertain such a notion.
