Is it fair to expect that a full frame sensor attracts more dust on the sensor than the 1.6 crops?

I'd interested to see the views of posters that own both styles of cameras.

Cheers

In my experience, a full frame sensor does not attract any more dust than one of its crop siblings on a dust per area basis. That said, since the sensor is a fair bit larger, it often seems to attract dust like some form of evil dust magnet... but that's a perception issue more than anything else IMHO.

Not seeing a difference, but on a FF sensor, it'll look smaller.

I haven't seen much difference between my old Rebel XT & the 5D.
