An even better idea - buy an Olympus E-System camera? The sensor stays clean
all the time. A bold claim, maybe, but it's true.

More precisely, the infra red filter in front of the sensor itself (I'm 99%
sure it's the IR filter) is vibrated at around 30Khz, shaking any dust off.
The sensor itself is not moved at all. There are sticky pads in the mirror
box to pick up dust particles. The vibration cycle runs each time the camera
is switched on. Most E-Series users report dust-free images with their
cameras.
