btw anyone encounter dust in 400d? i am new to dslr...so do not know how to spot them? and how to remove them?

thanks

You can use whatever lenses you want to shoot landscape and fireworks but if you are going for wide, then perhaps the Canon 10-22 lens is your choice. A cheaper alternative would be a Tokina 12-24.

Dust is inevitable in DSLRs. They appear as tiny gray/black dots on the photos and are more obvious when you stop down the lens. Some people use sensor swipes, some use blowers.... I can't be bothered if I can't see them.

I thought the 400D has some sort of sensor cleaning? Although that won't eliminate dust but somehow, better than nothing.
