Needless to say that getting the spot removed would exceed the value of the camera.
This quite annoyed me, but now that I know I may have captured "fairy dust"...
My personal guess is that the (retractable) zoom mechanism of the lens is not 100% airtight.
Actually, I saw a recommendation to get the dust out of the body using a vacuum cleaner but this didn't work for my camera.
I now own a Canon G1x as second camera....
So, while the likelihood of dust entering a camera without replaceable lenses may be smaller, once there it's much more difficult to remove then in an SLR.

In my opinion the answer is yes. There should be no dust entering the chamber if it is sealed. I wonder if non interchangeable lens cameras have a dust "problem".Of course there is something called "fairy dust" and I think that has no barriers. ;)AndyOn Sep 23, 2012, at 8:29 PM, <PhotoRoy6@xxxxxxx> wrote:Does most dust in digital SLR come from changing the lenses?
