Sensor cleaning system on DLSR 
People from PIXINFO.COM has reviewed the dust cleaning system from SONY, OLYMPUS, PENTAX and CANON



The ranking is :
1. Olympus: good
2. Canon: poor (we are disappointed)
3. Pentax & Sony: useless (we are very disappointed)

and the conclusion :

Keep your air blower handy, it is still your best tool against dust.
