  Of course it's a real problem. When has dust not been a problem in  
the world of photography? It's a problem with film. It's a problem  
with prints in the darkroom. It's a problem with sensors. But the  
problem with dust on sensors is nothing compared to the film/print  
world. In all cases dealing with dust, dirt, humidity or lack thereof  
is part of photographic technique. In the digital world - if you  
don't want to deal with dust - simply don't change lenses or purchase  
a non-interchangeable lens camera.
