I used the sensor cleaning feature. It gives you access to the sensors so you can clean them manually. But you need to be careful when doing it. Usually blowing lightly will get rid of most of the dust.
Well, thats the problem...when you look inside on the mirrors & the sensor everything is clean. I rarely ever remove the lens & when I do I use everything thats capped. I've probably only removed the lens up to 6-7 times since 2007(when I got it). I still blew it clean & used a extra fine cloth made for such things.

On mine, it wasn't dust on the mirror. I had to use the sensor clean feature to move the mirror out of the way, and expose the area behind it. That's where the dust was. I wouldn't suggest using pressurized air. That's asking for more problems. I blew lightly just by mouth. But you can use those little bulb-style things to get into the areas hard to reach.

Going to a specialty camera shop for a cleaning is also not a bad idea.

And a whole lot cheaper than buying a new camera.
