Mine has dust, but not that bad. There are a few spots that I cannot get off, but they are hardly noticeable.Originally Posted by RosieA

So, I am not really sure what the solution is, apart from getting a clean. If you try the DIY approach, do your research and ensure you get the right cleaning kit.
A700, that's full frame right?
Bigger sensor (by heaps) means more surface area for dust to land on. Also sensors are electronic, therefore static build up will exist. Static attracts stuff (dust). My D3 is the same, it needs more cleaning, more regularly, than my D200 does.

Ah, thanks Hoffy. the A900 is the full frame one. (so many brands, so many models)

thanks for the input guys
I've actually found the A700 to be better and haven't had any dust issues. Giving the sensor a shake every time you turn it on/off seems to work well and I can't even remember the last time I had the blower into it. That may not actually mean anything though. Having both bodies and more of an idea what I'm doing these days, I probably don't change lenses as often as I did when I had only the A100
Cheers,

I have to say, I had more problems with dust on my Dynax 7D than I have with my A700. Mind you, I now take much more care with my camera when switching lenses than I did previously.
As far as cleaning products go, I find the copper hill images sensor sweep works a treat.
safety way is send back sony center, risky way is clean yourself with using dust blower, if can't try to use paint spray type.
