You have to be careful about not harming the inner workings when you do this, but it can be done. You can buy soft bristled brushes with a blower, they are specially make for cleaning these cameras and your local camera shop will have them. Just wipe and blow with this and see if that does it ...if not take it into a camera shop to have professionally cleaned. This should be done once a year for the SLR type cameras, if you use it regularly, and doesn't cost that much.

A small tool sold at camera shops. A bulb on one end with a small brush on the other. Squeeze the bulb and a small burst of air will blow dust off a surface.
Could also buy a can of compressed air, but I would not push the nozzle all the way down. Your trying to blow dust, not blast the inside of your camera to smitherines.

Try to change lenses out of the wind. Keep the camera body pointed down.
I would never ever use compressed air on the inside of my camera. It will only drive dust deep into places where it will cause harm. It could damage the shutter. Compressed air IMO is for tires, rafts and air mattresses.
If your camera doesn't have the "dust removal" feature for your sensor buy one of the many sensor cleaners on the market.

I have two D60's and have never had any dust problems and I do change lenses a lot. It tend sonly to be a problem whith small apertures and a plain coloured backdrop, blue sky or a white wall. Just use a Giotto bulb blower. Dont waste your money on rip off products. You can safely use the brush you get on a blower brush, lightly wipe across and a couple of blasts with the larger bulb blower.

Well, you have to take the picture, or it won't advance the film (why would it allow you to advance the film if you haven't taken the picture yet?) The dust particles probably just means the inside of the camera is dirty (it needs a cleaning). It's only a problem if there are specs on the lens (since they might show up in your photos). Dirty mirror or viewfinder does not affect picture quality.

Some SLR's have a CCD dust removal feature. You'll have to look at your manual to see if it has it. There are tools for doing it yourself , but I recommend that you take it to a good camera shop and have it cleaned professionally.

A blower brush is good, as someone has suggested, but I use a product called 'Dust-Off' which is basically a can of compressed air. Check online, but I think you'll find it in computer/electronics stores.

If dust gets on the sensor, then you'll get little dark spots on your images. Here's a little tutorial for removing dust from the sensor.
