Had two small blips of dust on my sensor and had the relevant marks coming up on bright sky shots.
Invested in a Rocket! Wow! Blasted them little speckles into space.
Must say it was a wise investment. One little thing I did, was to mount the camera on my tripod and faced it downwards, so hopefully the dust came out, rather than blow it in further.

Thanks for the tip last week, eat your heart out Canon!

good work. I always hold the body upside down when there is no lens on and the cap is off....translated as when cleaning or changing lenses. In addition, I always use the rocket blower after a session where I have changed lenses. Dust is easier to get off if you get it right away. Once it sticks, you need to resort to the swabs.

Is it true that the sensor heats up on multiple shots and makes removing the dust particles harder to remove, as I have read conflicting views.
It was nice to complete the removal, even clearer blue skies now!

Not really sure about that but my guess would be yes it heats up since we are dealing with circuitry. It might be minimal but just enough to make dust stick.

It would depend on what the dust consisted of, but offhand, I'd sort of doubt that the sensor would be able to heat up enough (between buffer size limits and frame rates) enough to cause problems with dry particles. Moist particles (salts, for instance) may get warm enough to evaporate leaving a residue, but even organic matter (pollen, say) would need a prolonged exposure to a fairly high heat to adhere.

One thing to bear in mind is that IIRC particles are more susceptible to a charge under dry conditions (think static electricity), so unless you're dealing with hydrous salts, it'll be mostly pretty dry particles being actively attracted to the sensor, and they'd be less vulnerable to heat levels likely in the camera.

A second thing to remember is that what the particles end up on, in active use, isn't the sensor proper, rather it's a clear cover over the sensor. This will further reduce the heat any particles will be exposed to.
