People misunderstood what was really happening, and believed the sensor was charged.
Here's what Canon has to say.
"Surprisingly, research has shown that one of the main causes of dust is the camera itself. This explains why photographers who rarely change lenses still suffer dust problems.
There are two significant camera-related areas that generate dust. One is the shutter. Every time it fires, friction between the components can create dust. Recent shutter units for EOS cameras have been designed to generate a minimal amount of dust during their operation.
The other main problem area is the plastic body cap. Every time it is attached or removed, friction between the metal mount and the plastic cap can generate dust. Since the first half of 2005, the body cap has been made of a material that produces very little dust from friction." http://bit.ly/1sx3dog...Show more →

Plus every time you put a body cap or a rear lens cap down it collects dust, especially if you put it face down on a dusty table or in your pocket. I make sure I use a blower brush on the caps as well as the lens surfaces before I mount a lens (if I have time)
