[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 110921, member: 9240"] I have no other experience to offer other than my own. I got my first piece of dust at 100 shots with lens change. My first non-blowable object at 600 shots. My second non-blowable at 1600 shots, which was 60 shots ago. My experience is that I get dust more often when operating in continuous shutter mode. Whether this is due to the shutter mechanism spitting oil or the mirror flapping creating greater dust movement I do not know, nor do I speculate. Regardless, I find myself in a routine now where I take a dust-check image every time I remove my card to process images and blow clean as necessary, recheck and then wet-clean if I have to. As Marcel points out, the images the camera produces means this effort is worth the results. All cameras will eventually need cleaning, so it's a good habit to get in (taking the dust check image). If dust really bothers you, the camera has the ability to produce a [URL="http://support.nikonusa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/7324/~/how-does-%27image-dust-off%27-work%3F"]dust reference image that Capture NX2 can use[/URL] to quickly remove dust from your photo (Canon has the same ability using Digital Photo Professional). Would be nice if the reference image could be used by other software, like Photoshop, but it is what it is. [/QUOTE]
