I thought they were a good idea especially for cleaning the sensor on a
digital SLR, but I have been pretty well talked out of it. Even if you
suck off the dust, dust laden air is drawn in to replace the air going
into the vacuum cleaner. For blow dusting a sensor, CO2 cartridges,
very gently discharged, seem to be the current best thing. No
propellant and no dust.
