[QUOTE="Village Idiot, post: 653255, member: 29446"] The sensor cleaning is a gimmick. There's two different magazines that did testing and both came up with about the same conclusion. Olympus had the best system being about 40% effective over all with Canon, Nikon, Pentax, and Sony coming is with none of their offerings hitting above %10 effectiveness. They said Canon's problem (from what I remember of the article) was that the sensor retained a charge which held particles to the filter. The most effective method short of doing a swab cleaning is a blower. I suggest just buying a blower and giving your sensor a few small blast here and there. It's worked beautifully for me so far and there's no risk of scratching the sensor if you're not touching it and using something as gentle as that. So don't let something like that sway your choice and make sure you research the features that you find interesting before you purchase. That way you'll find out whether or not they're features that add functionality to the camera, or fall short of your expectations. [/QUOTE]
