I don't believe that there is particularly a difference. I think that if the DSLR is weather-proofed the same as the film camera (with electronics) then a similar result WRT invasion by water/etc will cause, er, similar results. What I mean is that a well weather-proofed DSLR should not (IMO) b

Of course. There are protocols for cleaning the CCD. Some DSLRs incorporate a barrier oin front of the CCD, in my case, CMOS. This aids cleaning by enabling removal of dust from a surface other than a CCD (or CMOS), and also providing a resting place for said dust that is not on the focal plain

Actually the sensor is far from being exposed: the shutter curtain rests in front of the sensor, just as it does on a film SLR, and the mirror rests in the down position. However, I know a UK pap(arazzo) who shoots with 1D's and he avoids changing lenses in windy conditions outside of his car.

I have always read that the F100 did have considerable weather sealing. So I guess they did use the N80. I know that a huge problem with interchangeable lens digital cameras is the sensor being exposed when the lens comes off. (Sigma actually stuck a piece of glass in front of their sensor). I
