Turn it off before you change lenses - this discharges the ccd making it less likely to attract crud

keep the body pointed downwards while changing so that cack can fall out instead of on to the sensor

never leave it without a lens or body cap fitted

clean the rear element of your lense with an antistatic cloth before you chagne lenses and keep the caps on your lenese when you arent using them.

and try to avoid changing lenses in very dusty environments

Also have it proffesionally cleaned - fixation in london do while you wait cleaning (normally about 20mins) for £25 , camera seem to come from canon with a lot of debris already inside them and this is the best way to get it all out.

hope this is helpful
