My experience is different, Sonny. I have to clean my M8 sensor  
relatively frequently, perhaps because I live in a dry, dusty place,  
so every lens change outdoors almost invariably lets in some dust  
(yes, I make sure the camera is off, turn away from wind etc.). On the  
other hand, I have never had to clean the sensor on my Olympus E3. I  
prefer the M8 for obvious reasons, but would enjoy it even more if it  
had the self-cleaning feature.
