It is a common with DSLR's as azy says. Never come across it on a brand new cam though. It is always more noticeable on a light background especially at a smaller aperture like f16-f22, at f4 or f5.6 it is almost un-noticeable. This is not a problem specific to Nikon, same with Canon 300D 10D etc. I have seen a sensor with 68 spots. Lens changing technique is very important, and the cam MUST be completely powered down to swap lenses, or the static charge in the sensor is like a dust magnet.
