This is just a guess, but have you considered that it might be coming off of your lenses? Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems to me that the only time dust will get on your sensor is when the mirror is up (or at the very least the mirror makes it much harder for the sensor to get dirty). Make sure that the "back" of your lens (the part that attaches to the camera) is completely dust free before putting it on. Hope this helps,

The book I have says that you can clean your sensor by locking up your mirror and use a hand-held air blower and blow the specs of dust out. I have tried it and it worked.

Hiya Sandy....thank u for tryin to help..yes I know how to lock mirrors...however hand air blower if it is same that I have is weak...one I have is squizing one....it would have to be like they use in camera show...electric air blower...wish to know where I can get one..would have to have reasonable pressure....i would think???????????i will try again that hand held see if it will work for me.. to me seem the specks would stay in camera unless is something strong that can blow it out....thanks Sandy for trying to help me..

The Giottos Rocket Air Blower is very good for cleaning loose dust off a sensor. It costs about $10, and you can order them from most online stores. It also has a special valve that's supposed to keep you from blowing more dust in. I've read that you should not use blowers with brushes because they can actually scratch the sensor.
