first?

honestly...they need to drop the price from 900....thats way too high if they hope to compete with the D50 and 350D....
then again, the 2 more MP that will fool people into thinking its better (its not), will probably help justify the price to idiot consumers....


lol. I read the sensor dust shake-off bit in the 2nd article, and I laughed as I imaged a CCD sensor shaking and saying: "GOD DAMN THIS DUST! GET OFF ME!"

I know I read that too. I thought well that is what they make CCD cleanging kits for. It isnt all that hard but, I guess for the majority of users it might be.
Yeah $900 is way high to me too for entry level.Besides for myself, I already have Nikor glass so, getting one isnt an option.

A pro photo dude told me the vibration really seem to knock stuff off...

But where does the dust go?

 

[BillLeeLee]

I think it's probably just like the Olympus E-volts - shake the dust off the sensor onto the surrounding components, only to become reattracted to the CCD later.

exactly...unless they put in a vacuum, which has such a tiny bag you have to change it every other time you "clean" the sensor.

Or you end up with little dut bunnies in the corners.
