Canon 10D dust spots


Does anyone with a Canon 10D get dust spots on their images? It occurs even when I don't change lens. Is there a solution to this problem?

  I get things called "Lens pens" from Cabela.com. They are a handy, compact little lens cleaning tool with a brush on one end and a little lens cleaner with special solution on the other. Very gentle and handy. I keep it in my camera bag and clean before every shoot. I take my camera on a 4 wheeler so dust is always a problem, especially on filters.

  See pp. 156-157 of the 10D's user manual for sensor cleaning instructions. The lens pen is a very good tool, but be sure to use cleaning fluids sparingly on the sensor, so as not to short the electronics or leave residue.
