I have been wondering about one thing. In the 10 months I've had my DS, I have had dust on sensor one time. I'm not very careful with my equipment. I do change lens almost everywhere. I don't leave the camera house open, and I do try to be a little careful, but I have a rather relaxed attitude towards this. Why do some have a lot of dust problems, and some don't?
Here Aaron tells us about two cameras that "behave" completely differently when it comes to dust. I assume they are similar in sealing. If they are different, I would guess the D is better sealed. But it is the D who attracts most dust. This is strange. I have one rather odd theory: Could some sensors be charged with static electricity? Any thoughts on this?
