I'm changing lenses constantly in a construction area, so I go through
a two-step process if I see artifacts attributed to the outdoors which
happens quite often. First, I try to blow it out (MicroDuster) and then
take another image to check for the same artifacts. Most of the time
they disappear. But if they remain, I use a "Sensor Swab" from
Photographic Solutions (the "Photofinish" company). Make sure you use
the appropriate steps in raising the mirror. Although this action is
menu driven, my 14n can work with a good battery while the 100D
requires an AC adapter before the menu item is highlighted. BTW, we
were so impressed with the Sensor Swab, that we plan on using them for
our cleanroom optics.

For DSLRs, isn't cleaning the sensor an issue? You can't just wipe
them with a cotton bud (cn you?)
