What interests me is how the hell you clean the sensor when the inevitable
happens and something gets stuck to it - a piece of eyebrow dander, etc.  It
won't take much residue to seriously screw up your images.  I would gather
that you can use a mild breeze, but that canned air stuff that's not really
air would seem to be a bad idea.  This is something that seems to me to have
the potential to be a big PITA - with film, you were replacing the medium
each frame.  With digital, it's the same thing each time, and it's gonna get
dirty sooner or later.

Is there any way to actually clean it properly aside from taking it in to
the service depot?

It does. Or at least it can.
It's one of the custom functions.
