Hi Stefanie I think the author is suggesting that dust is an inevitable part of the digital capture process - no more, no less.
I've always been cautious about using compressed air around bodies (film+dig) because I've always been worried about the pressure of the jet forcing dust into places that it couldn't normally reach and then not being able to remove it with anything less than mechanical surgery. The sensor swabs are a good option and unless you're working in adverse conditions, you'll find that dust build up isn't that bad with regular maintenance. Couple this with an annual service at an authorised service centre and you'll be fine I reckon. I know that I personally can't afford �50 odd every time I feel there is too much dust. I should add that the reason I mentioned the Olympus in my previous message was that the filter protecting the sensor vibrates to shake settled dust off. None of the other filters on the other makes do this to my knowledge but I may stand corrected.
