The only other digital cam I have is the E-3 so never a dust problem there, but the conventional wisdom that the bigger the sensor and the hotter the sensor, the worse the dust problem is. Of course it shows up worst in close down and smooth background such as the sky, which thankfully I don't usually do except in Feb when I was shooting at the Joshua Tree Nat Park. As for protector, I have not used or seen a medium back up close. Are they just bare with the sensor exposed to the elements? That seems like asking for trouble?
