The medium size was just perfect. Not too big & not too small.It provides an adequate blast of air per pump. (though I imagine the larger sized one can blast harder)I use the medium Rocket Air Blower to blow away dust from my camera's sensor.When doing so, just make sure to point the camera downwards so the dislodged particles don't settle back into the camera.For added stability, you can mount the camera to a tripod that points downwards before you start cleaning. (that way both hands are free)Another good thing is the stability of the red pointing nozzle. It doesn't wobble wildly everytime you pump. Though there can still be some movement, proper handholding of the pump using even pressure pretty much guarantees the nozzle stays aimed where you want it to.At just [$] bucks, this is a great buy.

I use this to clean dust off the sensor of my Canon 5D. I purchased the medium size on the recommendation of a customer review based on its
convenient size for a camera bag. The blower's design is fine but the medium doesn't generate a powerful enough air stream. I imagine
the large would do the job better and couldn't possibly take up that much more room in a camera bag!

I have tried several different sensor cleaners and none of them work. A friend of mine brought this in and it removed dust that had been on my sensor for months. It is small enough to pack in a bag and so simple you can use it while out shooting if needed. It is great.

I own one of the larger models of this item. So, I already knew how great it was. My main reason for buying it was to have one that was smaller to keep in my camera bag when traveling. Works great and highly recommended.

Use for a quick lens dust off, product shot or an occasional sensor cleaning, I like that it seems to have a one-way valve to keep air going in one direction. I dislike that the red tube seems to come out a little too easy.

Comments about Giottos Rocket Air Blower - (Medium) 6.6":
This medium size generates a good blast of air but is much better sized for carry in the field. Blowing dust off the lens, around the gotcha places on the camera and even keeping the crumbs off my small laptop. Perfect and durable. Good value.

In my opinion, every SLR camera user should have one of these blowers or of the same sort in their camera bag. Does well at removing majority of the dust inside the camera and out. Keyboards too.

Comments about Giottos Rocket Air Blower - (Medium) 6.6":
I was a bit dubious about buying an air blower, because I once worked in a commercial lab where a plentiful supply of compressed air was always at hand.
The rocket blows a surprisingly strong and focused jet of air where you want it. I used it to clean my digital sensor, and it removed 85 percent of the dust, making the task that much easier when I used a swab to get the remaining dust particles.
Only reason I don't give it 5 stars is that I'm unfamiliar with other blower bulbs.

I love the squeeze bulb! It's black. And, it's rubbery. Squeezing it makes air rush out of the tip! It never spits when it blows. When not using it to blow Kleenex dust off my lenses, I most certainly can use it in the shower as an ear syringe to remove built-up wax. Few products can boast the ability to improve what you see and how well you hear!

I bought this rocket air blower to clean my sensor, because I had two big particles shown in my photos. This should be the first step to clean the sensor before using the wet stuff.
With a few blows I could get out all the dust from the sensor and now I have clear pictures without having to send the camera to cleaning service paying itself in the first use!

I have the full-size Giotto rocket blower, and needed something smaller to take on the road. The medium-size rocket blower is a perfect fit, still powerful enough to do its job and fits in the small space left in my backpack.
