Good Mornin' all!
I've been using my LeiCanon 20D for about 75 days now... and so far just shy of
2000 images - and no detectable dust on the sensor.
I was warned, when I bought it, that people who change lenses in dusty areas,
such as wildlife photographers (!) have more problems with this than anybody
else... and I admit to doing just that. But still, no noticeable problems.
The 20D does have a "cleaning" mode... where it holds the mirror up and the
shutter open, so you can gently wipe the sensor with a moistened swab, but I've
not had to do this. (Frankly, doing so would worry me!)
Your theory makes sense, Xavier, but I have not experienced the problem.
Should I consider myself lucky?
Cheers!
David.
