I haven't cleaned a sensor in years, probably since my 10D, since Canon added sensor cleaning cycles to start-up and shut-down.
Do you have images showing the sensor dirt? Unfocused shots of plain blue sky at minimum aperture are usually best.
I just use the kit lens. I never take it off. Mostly streetscapes and landmarks. A few long exposure shots at night on the tripod. Never breaches, deserts or anywhere with blowing sand or dirt.
Yeah, I can see the little dust spots on the blue sky.
So either the camera shop isn't actually cleaning it and they're ripping me off or this model is prone to dust?
My old 70D, which I use with a wide-angle lens, only gets cleaned professionally a couple of times per year. It doesn't seem to let in the dust on the sensor.
