That's what I have used to clean the innards of my SLR cameras since I started taking pictures. Apparently people scream like they are having kittens over this, so officially I don't recommend it.
However, in over 5 decades of camera ownership and almost 2 decades of DSLR ownership, I have yet to break a camera, nor have I found anyone who has, and I have tried.
I think canned gas is fine for routine sensor cleaning, but the people who haven't tried it and parrot back the hysterical ravings of the various naysayers are quite vocal in their objections, objections, l will point out are based on conjecture, not personal experience.
