When you take off the lens on any SLR you leave a great, gaping hole in the front of the body. If there's dust in the air, some of it can get into the body. This is a problem with all digital SLRs.
Ideas? Try to shelter the body when changing lenses. Don't change lenses in windy, dusty conditions. Don't leave the body without a lens while you do other things. Keep the body with lens mount facing down while the lens is off.

Turn the camera off when changing lenses helps as well. If you leave it on the sensor is charged and will actually pull the dust in.
