You can't go wrong with Adorama. My latest purchase was a "Giottos Rocket Air Blaster, Manual Air Blower with Extra-Large Rubber Bulb - 5.3" Long" used for cleaning digital SLR camera sensors of dust. I had a chance to use it earlier today and it does a great job. It's a must have for all DSLR owners, especially those with full frame digital cameras. There is no way to avoid getting dust on the sensors but it's not really a big issue if you use air blowers periodically and shoot with lower aperture settings (i.e. F8 and lower). Just put your digital SLR on a sturdy tripod and face the camera sensor towards the ground so no horizontal airflow will introduce new dust. Make sure the camera power is turned off. Carefully remove the lens and put its protective cap cover on (holding opposite direction of airflow). Power on the camera and go into the menu to sensor cleaning mode. Once in sensor cleaning mode, use two hands to hold the air blower. One hand holds the nose steady inside the camera chamber close (not too close) to the sensor and the other hand squeezes the pump to force the air out. Pump it 6-12 times and that should free up most dust particles. You may have some tiny dust particles remaining but nothing that is really noticeable unless at very high aperture settings which is very rare. Keep this routine up on a regular basis and it will make your digital SLR (DSLR) experience much better.
Anyway, I have purchased several items from Adorama ranging from new lenses on through to a tripod (Slik Pro 700DX AMT-Titanium Alloy Tripod - awesome tripod by the way). Adorama sells good quality merchandise with timely shipping and tracking information. They are a very reputable online retailer with a good history to back it at the better business bureau, http://www.bbb.org. I never purchase anything from online retailers that are not part of the Better Business Bureau. Another quick recommendation: look up online retailer information not only at epinions.com but resellerratings.com. Adorama passes with flying colors there too. Two thumbs up and I will continue to purchase future camera equipment from them.
