I have had several mirrorless bodies, Sony A6000, Fuji XPro3, Fuji X-E4, but my Sony A7iii is the only one on which I seem to have sensor dust every single time I swap lenses…

Brand by brand how impacted are you by this issue ? Do you think that there are specific models which exhibit this issue more than others ?

    One thing moving to mirrorless is that you are supposed to turn off most bodies before swapping lenses. Most mirrorless systems close the shutter when turned off (as well as Canon stopping down the aperture and shifting focus to infinity) and you are only supposed to swap lenses while the body is off so as to lessen the exposure of the sensor to dust and contamination.

    With DSLRs, the mirror box makes this much less of a problem, and the mirror being dusty isn’t really a huge issue. It’s something I have definitely had to become much more attentive of moving to mirrorless systems.
