Is it smarter to use canned air or a bulb blower for sensor cleaning? I tried both and got mixed results.
Used a rocket blower on a dirty mirrorless sensor last month and it left streaks, then tried canned air on another body and it worked fine but I'm paranoid about propellant. Has anyone else run into this or am I just unlucky with the bulb blower?

Ward.kim's right (unlike my first bulb blower attempt which was a disaster).

I've had a rocket blower shoot dust straight back onto the sensor before, so now I always hold the camera upside down and blow upward. Canned air has been fine for me too, but I make sure to give the can a good shake first.
