get the Giottos Rocket Air blower
some lens tissues(no brand one is fine, but Kodak one sells for $4 just $1 more than no brand one)
and some lens clothes(2-3), 1 put at home, 1 bring in ur camera bag, 1 spare
cleaning solution anything shd be fine.. me using Giottos.

For the lens clothes should get the micro fibre type, it is very effective in cleaning oil stain (e.g. finger prints) on the glass.

DON'T use a blower inside the camera :bigeyes:

huh? why? cannot blow the sensor?

huh? why? cannot blow the sensor?

Because you will most likely dislodge more dust and it will end up on the sensor.

Worse still it can be blown into the viewer area. I have seen it before and is expensive to have cleaned.

There are better ways of cleaning the sensor than blowing dust around.

Just my opinion
