Sam, re: D70 and dust I use only the standard lens configuration so my D70 is not susceptible to dust infiltration. Aus

I have thought about buying a D70 but have hesitated partially because of the dust issue. Is this a real problem? If so, how do you prevent it? I would not let the dust issue determine your purchase. I've been using (Canon, but doesn't matter) DSLRs for years, switch lenses all the time, and don't give dust a second thought anymore. Three things to remember. 1. Always turn off the camera when changing lenses: a charged sensor attracts dust, when turned off it does not. 2. Get a CO2 Duster for cleaning: americanrecorder.com 3. If CO2 does not work to remove the dust (in three years and four bodies I've never seen it happen) send the camera in for service. Do NOT attempt any hands on contact type of sensor cleaning -- I've read TONS of horror stories. But like I said, CO2 does the job for me, each and every time. Knocking on wood. P.S. Next time stop by here with your digital photography questions, we all love to help, and Uncle Frank (among others) has the D70: Subject 52350
