Check out the fingernail sanding sticks in the ladies cosmetics section of your local pharmacy, grocery, or big-box store. And the round cotton pads come in handy when cleaning things up. There is also a pointed cotton tipped swab applicator that is good for getting into corners.

And yes, the Dremel would create a lot of dust, and I should have mentioned that. There are also other types of wheels for the Dremel besides the wire ones that can be used for removing rust. I also should not have assumed that you were doing a complete teardown, which is the proper way to handle large amounts of rust. As much as you are going to be handling the camera while scraping and sanding, it would be a good thing to get as much stuff out of the way, to reduce the possibilty of damage.
