What a bargain!

Re: What a bargain!

I just wanted to mention to you that the Canon dust removal system appears to work well, if you decide to get a camera with that feature later.  I've used two Canon T2i (550D) cameras for over three years without any dust problems (but I don't change lenses often either).  Last autumn I bought a Canon T3i (600D) camera and was a little disappointed to see a rather large dust spot show up on my images after two months of use or so.  I changed lenses to determine that it was the camera and not the lens.  After a few weeks, I noticed that the dust spot got smaller and finally went away.  I was going to remove it manually with a blower, but it was just only on the lower right side.  So, I was in no hurry.  I was glad that the camera apparently took care of the dust problem by itself.

Before using Canon DSLR cameras, I was using Olympus DSLR cameras.  Olympus had an excellent dust removal system, at least that was what I experienced and what many forum members reported also.  I wasn't sure about the Canon dust removal system, but so far it seems to be rather good too.

Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy your new camera.  You seem to understand how to clean these sensors manually rather well.
