I have a 20D and I'm having problems with dust/fluff in my pictures. I have several lens and have established that the dust is not on the lens - dust appears in pictures whateve lens has been used.

I had the censor cleaned and I'm still seeing problems in some of my pictures.

Has anyone else experienced such problems and can anyone offer advise on what I can do - I have thought about sending camera to a Canon centre (if there is such a thing) but presume it would be expensive.

I've heard this is a D-SLR problem - static builds up and sucks in dust when lens changed. Someone also said that zoom lens suck in dust as well ...

I can't be sure, but I think the dust that appears in the pictures is the in the same place as before the censor was cleaned ... the screen with the AF points on is dusty as well ...

Any advise would be welcome ...

Sorry to hear about that, I had the same problem and after doing a search I got the copper hill sensor cleaning kit, it takes a few goes but it does work, now after 1 month no dust but I got a tip that if you store the camera face down ie on the lense then if dust is floating about it wont go on the sensor so far it works.

Use a blower first.
If that doesn't shift it then use the Copper Hill method.
Do a search on POTN for Copper Hill, it works well and is not as difficult as it sounds.
