I've heard this mentioned before, but does anyone know if the electrostatic
charge on the surface of the sensor is really sufficient to attract dust
into the shutter chamber - especially given that the shutter is sitting
behind the closed shutter? I have to say my initial reaction is that it
isn't, but that's just instinct.
