I just finally got to get a few good test images in with my new 20D....although the spots do not show up in the images....there are 3 very distinct spots in my viewfinder. Its not on the lens (its there in the same spot with 3 different lenses) and I cleaned the viewfinder (I was being hopeful) and used a blower bulb: all to no avail........

You think maybe they would figure a better way out to package these things.....maybe send em over to the 300D line.....my rebel never had a spec of dust until about 3 months of use

If you see dust in the viewfinder, it's probably on the focussing screen. Look inside the mirror box at the white screen in the top. You can use a blower to try to dislodge anything, but you might just blow it onto the shutter where it'll end up on the sensor.
