Well it's a little like trying to decide whether it's safer for you to drive
home drunk from a party or let your drunken friend drive you instead. Things
can go wrong either way. We probably shouldn't be discussing this as a
routine matter. Cleaning the mirror is something I have done perhaps 2 or 3
times with my cameras. Theoretically, forced air doesn't move dust out
anymore than it moves it back and up, and two of those three things are bad.
The tips of a photo blower brush can pull the crud out quite gently. If you
can do just as well with air and feel it is safer, more power to you. I'm
not comfortable blowing air into my camera. I don't know whether my way is
safer, but my comfortable level is higher. To each his own.
Cheers,
Joel
