Do you use your camera in dusty areas?

D70 in a coal mine!
It did not get one spot of dust on the sensor and there were a few lens changes over the 5 days on site.
Just lucky I guess.

I've never used mine in an evironment that dusty, but i did use it at a phosphate mine and many many times in a sea-salty environment. It's still in good nick.

(Except it's at Maxwells right now

Well, as you can figure with my pics most of the time i am in a dusty place whether it be at Moto Cross or speedway so mine does cop a bit of it but i try to take the blower with me and give it a dust off now and then i also have a art brush in my box of trix, 60 ltre plastic bin so when i have done for day or nite before i pack gear awy i go over it with the brush first then a blow just to get all the dust i can off.
Sensor on the D2X is ok couple of small spots i think i have managed to blow off as i do a lot lens changes now and then and D70 gets a blow till i get enough dust on sensor before i decide to wet clean.
