I bought some of this stuff to clean out my keyboard. On the can, it says it's also used for photo/video and it also says moisture free.

I know others have said not to use canned air on your sensor, but given what's written on the can, would this be safe to clean the sensor of my 20D?

No... for one it's way to forceful and could damage your shutter. Secondly, and I can'r confirm this, but it does spray a bit of residue. I have had it spray moisture onto my computer keyboard also.

Get a hurricane blower... it has all the air pressure you need.

I figured that's what the answer would be, but I didn't know if they came out with a "safe" canned air and I just didn't know about it. Still didn't want to try before I check with someone here. Thanks for the info :)

FWIW, I still use it for general dusting of my camera. Just not inside it.

What about lenses? would the moisture mess with the UV filter?
