Just you though they are only cute photo objects... I found another use for them...
They blow air to sensors to dust them...
Yeap... I had this ANNOYING dust on the sensor, and I had to take pictures... odd enough, I had only "ducks" handy...
So, I squeezed and blew some air... Dust was gone :)
Just to let you know.
PS: My duckies are soft, so I am not sure they all the same... Don't try this before actually testing it.

| I can only imagine ensuing conversation when someone comes upon you making your duck fart into your camera. |

i once tried the duck method, and was utterly frustrated by the lack of consistency in the farts they produced. i tried numerous ducks... abe lincoln, sammy hagar, bruce springstein, among others. i just couldn't get the dust off.
i called GAME - the manufacturer of most of the ducks i know - and they told me i needed a bigger duck.
of course they were back ordered, so to the marsh i go to collect myself a duck sizable enough to get the damn dust off my sensor.
well i can say that a dead duck only farts once, and you sure as hell don't want to be the camera on which it lands.
thankfully it was a test fire, and i didn't have the sensor exposed. but i would advise against the duck method of cleaning it.
