can the internals of the camera (D100 ccd) be cleaned with "canned air dusters" used to clean computer hardware?? :confused:

Not recommended. The "air" is actually liquid that is very cold. When the liquid form of it comes in contact with some surfaces it can leave a residue, even mar the surface.
Some shops use it to clean the cameras. Let them, if they screw anythign up they are financially responsible for it. I would not recommend taking that sort of responsibility youself. CCDs are not cheap.

I once spilled a big spot of liquid on my CCD using canned air. Not recommended.

Don't Do It
Canned air contains chemicals that will harm your CCD and internals. Don't learn the hard way!
