Hey Vince, I see that you live in Rosemead, so if I were you and really bothered by the dust in the viewfinder, I would just drive down I-5 'til I got to Irvine and stop in the Canon Service Center and they will clean the sensor and vf for free in about 90min. John

Its well documented in forums everywhere. Def one of the things I look forward to being fixed in the Mark II. [Gear List | Flickr

Thanks for the heads up, I was thinking about that. Anyway I called Canon today and they recommended me to exchange it for another one since I just purchased it and have no had it for more than 2 days. He also told me that I could open the part that holds the focusing screen and use a dust blower. I did that today and it's CLEAN!! 5D

It's just the nature of the 5D. I do understand though, when I first got my 5D i wanted it nice and new looking but I can't remember the last time I thought about the big chunks in the VF. 5D & Grip, 17-40 f4, 70-200 f2.8 IS, 50mm 1.4, 85mm1.2 580EX 430EX II, Tamron SP AF 90mm f/2.8 Macro.

I feel the same way about this.
