I've considered the D30, but I'm concerned about the dust-issue.
Have you had any problems with dust getting in your camera?

No...not yet ;P I do change lenses often, but I always take care to face the body downwards, and if possible, change in a relatively "clean" environment. One trick is change it in your camera bag, if it is big enough.

From what I've read so far, this problem seems largely confined to the Nikon and Kodak SLRs. I'm not saying there isn't any dust problem with the D30, just that more people have experienced it with cameras of other makes. Someone said the CMOS sensor is less electrostatically less attractive to dust, not too sure if that's really the case!
