Well, seeing as I am a Canon shooter(and admittedly it doesn't stop the dust, but from experience it has lengthen the gaps between cleanings, for me), I will follow what the manufacturer recommends and other people as well. Some people may never persuaded, but I guess we all will learn soon enough.
