Self-cleaning sensor. I guess dust motes really DID bother some
people, enough so
Canon made the logical move to this.


I'll be interested to see how well it works before declaring it a 'logical
move'.

Anything that keeps someone from having to touch a sensor cover until
the last possible moment is a good thing. If it works, as you said.

Nonsense. What's wrong with touching the low pass filter with the
proper tool? I do it several times a year to clean my sensor. No
problems in several years, and I don't anticipate any until I'm too old
and shaky to care. And you blathered on earlier about expensive items
to clean the filter: I think the make up brush I use cost $1.97, and
the can of air I use to charge it costs five bucks and also cleans my
keyboard and computer innards for more than a year before I run out and
buy another.

Cleaning a sensor need not take long, and need not cost much, if
anything: I think my cost amortizes out to something like a nickel a
cleaning, at most. Some people do seem to get oddball hard-to-remove
substances on the sensors, but they are in a distinct minority. Those
people need either factory cleaning or fancier liquids. The rest of us
don't.
