Left out the hell that is dust on your sensor.

oh yeah, i'm dealing with that on the top right of my D80's sensor. light puffs of air don't move it. will probably ship off to Nikon for super cleaning.

Same with my D80 as well. I just tell myself its not that obvious and ignore it... I'm afraid I'll break it by cleaning it myself!

Any word on the dust-removing-sensor-vibrate-feature on recent(ish) DSLR's?

It's not as bad as it seems - and sending it off to the manufacturer seems like it would be an incredible pain. The first time is nerve-racking though.
