Hi mate you could try this, turn the camera on zoom the lens out all the way and place the end of your vacuum hose over the lens.

This is the important part only use low suction, your only moving dust not pulling the lens off.

I have done this with good results over the years, just make sure that you use low suction.

If you do pull the lens out of the camera I never wrote this

This has gotta be one the best disclaimers I've come across on DPR

Interesting technique...

Thanks mate, it's the way of the world these days, deny everything

Remember that to the lawyers cruising all around us nowadays you are nothing but a tasty snack.

I hope these manufacturers can sort out this sensor dirt issues soon or confirm they are not an issue. Has anyone seen any sort of statement anywhere from any of the makers on sensor dust? if it is a situation for just 5% of users over a space of 2 years I could live with it but I am completely spooked on getting a fixed lens camera at present.

I am not saying it is a problem as I have no real idea what the situation is but caution seems the prudent action on the moment.
