Dust Spots on a new camera!

[Rob M]

Hi all, I just bought a Nikon D80 and I took this pic to check for dust spots since I have had photos rejected on Jetpotos before due to them. I think I see one on the far left side but I was wondering if someone with a better eye for them could point out any others if they exist. Also would you suggest me getting it cleaned already (since it is brand new) or would you just suggest that I photoshop that one out for awhile? Thanks for the help!

Since the spots are small I would suggest Photoshop to remove them.

Welcome To Nikon

Welcome To Nikon

In fact, welcome to digital photography where the lens can be removed !

Dust in a DSLR is a fact of life and doesn't matter which brand you buy. Where you have a CCD that creates a static charge, there you will inevitably, and eventually, find dust.
I have two D80 bodies with a long and a short zoom on them. As I very rarely remove the lenses dust is not often a problem. It still happens occasionally though and I use a compressed air canister to remove it. Handpowered jet blowers are available and are just as good.

I ended up doing the same thing, hated changing lenses on the ramp of an air show with all that dust blowing around. Really cuts down on the spots, but I also keep those little "Rocket" Blowers in my bag just in case

Thanks for the help everyone! I went and got a rocket blower and I think it cleared up the dust spots. Here is a picture I took yesterday and I dont see the spots anymore.... But could someone please look at the pic and give me a second opinion on if there are any more spots....
Thanks again,
Rob

It looks clean here
But since that beautiful truck is covering a part of the photo, some could be in the bottom. Take a shot like you did first and check it. If it's clean(what I expect) you're ready to shoot
