I don't pay any more attention to where I put my digital bodies, where I change lenses, or in any way baby them any more than I did my Ms or film Nikons. And in all the time I've now been using the E-1, I have had a total of one image which has a sensor dust spot on it. I didn't clean the sensor after that, because the next time I turned the camera on, the spot disappeared.
