[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 184984, member: 9240"] I really, REALLY have to ask about the environment you're shooting in and how you're blowing your sensor, because if you're doing it right you're not going to lose some and gain some. [I]This is not a camera problem, it's a user issue. [/I]How free of dust is the room you're working in? How are you blowing the dust off? If you're holding the camera any way other than face down you're inviting gravity and the blower to introduce problems. Hold it face down and blow across the sensor and let gravity pull the dust away. Then quickly and [I]with the camera continuing to face directly down, [/I]close the shutter and install the lens. There's almost no way you'll introduce more dust that way. Cameras don't have dust issues, rooms do. The D600 did not have a "dust issue", it had an oil issue related to the shutter, which does not show up randomly on the sensor and get blown off but builds in the corners with persistent dust issues developing as it sticks to the oil. You're looking to blame the camera for a problem it doesn't have!! [/QUOTE]
