All, Thanks for all the replies. This is a great confirmation on what I heard before. It helped me make up my mind, i.e. that the "Integrated Cleaning System" isn't all that helpful.
The reason this is a major concern to me is due to my past experience. Dust on slides/film is just a killer. I also have a good scanner which I chose over a scanner with ICE because the former had a bit a better real-world dynamic range. It was almost as big a mistake as purchasing a Tamron 200-400. I spent countless hours getting rid of dust. That's despite the fact that I stored my film/slides carefully and did give them a good blast of air before scanning. I wish the 30D would have at least 10MP as that would give me a native 200dpi for a 13"x19" print. But 8MP really isn't that far off. The article mentioned by Wayne S was very interesting an informative. Thanks. Regarding the article about the D2000 I am astonished that it mentions that it was only available in Japan. At that time I have never been to Japan but I definitely have used a D2000. Maybe the article was written when it was released in Japan and later it was made available in Europe.
