Totally opposite. Keep the insect repellents far away from cameras. You even need to be careful when you put insect repellent onto yourself and go out shooting. It will eat away at the rubber on your camera.
Sorry, my post was dripping with so much sarcasm i thought everyone would catch it immediately. Most of us know that DEET melts everything it touches. Like Armor All and other exterior automotive products, I would never use insect repellent for anything other than its intended purpose.I'll bet it doesn't work on spaghetti either (that was so over the top I thought no one could miss it). I'll put a big disclaimer next time.

I wouldn't use it - it does leave a surface slicker than whale droppings, and puts a nasty reflective sheen on everything. I almost drove off the road because somebody decided to Armor-All the steering wheel and it was pretty slippery.
I would just use lens-cleaner wipes (non-silicon treated) or LCD screen wipes. Something mild that does not contain any kind of coating agent.
And if you are out of rubbing alcohol, vodka works just as well. Plus, you can pour one for yourself and make the job more fun!
Actually, vodka is very useful. I know a world-class museum that uses it to clean their priceless 18th century porcelain. Cuts grease, is gentle on the surface, and leaves no residue.

I like just putting my 1DsMKIII in the dishwasher. Cascade with the lemon smell is just dandy. I wouln't let it go through the dry cycle though, it makes the grip just too hot if you need to quickly grab the camera to catch one of those very special kitchen moments.
