Well, yes - that's why I wondered if this was a bigger issue with the
5d. The way dpreview and photo.net posters talk, the 5d works as a
lovely vacuum for all the dust in your immediate area.

But Tina's comments point more toward my expectation/hopes (dust
exists, but it's no worse than most if you don't change lenses
constantly while hiking in the Sahara).
