I guess I could look into the physics more, but yes, the sensor ( and glass) of a Digital Camera does either attract dust or acts sort of like a glue to keep the dust in place. BTW, I bought a Nikon D1 recently. Sensor was clean. Used it, changed lenses on it, found a BIG dust/lint particle, blew it off with compressed air. Problem over. Turning off the camera before changing lenses MAY help, and it sure does not hurt......Some change lenses upside down ( lens mount faces down rather than up) to keep dust out. Also can't hurt.
