Nikon D100
I NEED help
there is this dust particle that I cant get rid of.
Its not on the lens (I don't see it in the viewfinder and when I change
lenses its still there)
I cleaned the lenses and opened and clean the mirror with the blower and a
microfiber cloth - it still there
Can you advise
thanks
Rene

OK, where exactly is the dust? Where do you see it?

Sensor
Mirror
Lens
Front Element
Rear Element
Interior
Eye piece
LCD Display
Focusing Screen
Other?

When I take a picture its on the image on the same place.
Not on the LCD, viewfinder, lens (because I changed lenses and it still
there on the image)
I cleaned the mirror.
When I look through the eye piece - view finder its not there just on the
image.

It will probably be on the sensor.. Try take a shot of the sky
at f/22 and see if the dust particle looks sharper.. If it does,
then it is on the sensor.

It's no big deal.. Just clean it off.. there are many ways
to do this:

Pick up a brush and clean that sucker off your sensor. VisibleDust has
them for about a mortgage payment, or you can pick up a pair of them on
eBay for 12 bucks (ebay search on 'sensor brush).

Maybe this might be an easier question. Do you see it through the
viewfinder or do you see it on the resulting images?
