|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board D3 sensor attract dust? Chris Parent, Student/Intern, Photographer Baton Rouge | LA | United States | Posted: 12:53 AM on 03.09.10 ->> I've had my D3 for a couple weeks and noticed it needs cleaning a lot more than the D2x and D200 I was using. I cleaned them routinely every two weeks, but now the D3 seems to need to be cleaned every few days. I was wondering if anyone else had found this to be the case?  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I used a visible dust brush on it last week, and there was one spec I couldn't remove, I'll have to get that one with a sensor swab.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Way more than a D2x, D200, D100 in my opinion. I just always keep a lens on or body cap on.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I just returned from an ISAP conference and a similar question was asked of the Canon rep. What he said is that the CMOS sensors are not electrical charged until the shutter button is pressed. Something I am going to try is when I am finished shooting put the camera body in a Ziploc bag.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

My D3 is a major dust magnet-even with the 24-70 lens staying put.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
