I use the Giottos Rocket Air Blower. The only dust bunnies probs I have had were early on with my cameras. Since then, a good blow with the Rocket once in a while takes care of things. I might have had an "oil" spot or similar something not long after the camera was purchased but with care in lens changing I have little problems.
Be careful, be very careful to have the camera turned OFF when changing lenses. I tried "pinhole" camera shots with a tiny, perhaps 1/3mm hole or smaller on a cap placed over the camera body. The tiny hole was open to the air. So, I got dust bunnies! Amazing how small the dust can and likely is that causes the problems! With camera off, changing lenses is generally no problem but a blast of air from the fairly strong Rocket is well worth it.
Some folks say use "canned air" and I have not tried it. I fear the freezing effect might be a nasty. I really do not know. TomDArt.
