I wonder what causes that nasty static charge buildup in the 400D. Maybe it can be adressed via firmware (powerdown the CMOS first then use dust removal)

For the 400D the statically charged sensor is actually supposed to be a feature. The theory was it would prevent dust from ever settling on the CMOS sensor at all, and it as actually part of their "EOS Integrated Cleaning System". It sounds as if there was something wrong with their test unit if the charge was attracting rather than repelling dust however. I am very curious what went wrong since I have that camera, lol.
