Hi Markus ...
Dust is an issue with film. I'd blow my camera bodies out before each day
of shooting, and film easily picks up dust (and scratches). Don't know if
there are better sealed bodies, but if you're changing lenses, there's no
seal anyway. I've had the DS about a month or six weeks,

Dust usually gets into the mirror box when you change the lens, from
there it finds it's way to the sensor when an exposure its made. The
camera is only as well sealed as the lens, (no matter who makes the
camera).
