Hot take: I finally switched from canned air to a proper air compressor for cleaning mirror boxes

For years I used those little cans of compressed air on every DSLR that came in, thinking it was fine. Last month I picked up a small 3-gallon compressor from Harbor Freight for about $120. The difference is night and day. The steady, dry blast from the compressor gets dust out of corners the canned air just pushes around. Has anyone else made this switch and noticed fewer dust spots after sensor cleaning?

Wait, you used canned air inside a camera?

What about the propellant freezing the sensor?
