Otherwise, you're going to end up looking for ways to clean that imaging sensor on your own.
As for the D50, besides cleaning the sensor, I have just one gripe, the top LCD control screen is not backlit so you can't read it in the dark. Oh... and there is no depth of field preview.

A can of compressed air will go a long way. Any time you have to open your camera, one or two spritzes is extremely helpful--for film and digital. I am guilty of really dusty negatives (I can't tell you how much it sucks to hand-spot dust in a color print), but now that I've started using compressed air things are a million times better.
Just be sure that if you spray inside a camera body that it's not facing up (make it sideways or lens opening pointed down) to allow for dust to escape or else you're just moving stuff around. And when you do lens changing, try to avoid the opening of the body to face up in general otherwise it's essentially a bowl gathering dust.
And for those who shoot film, periodically spritz the film back/film loading area as well.
