My D200 does not have an auto dust remover, but then so far I have not 
needed it.  Anyway this is a problem with all digital DSLRs.  But then the 
M8 has a dust removal mode where the shutter is held open and you can dust 
off the sensor if needed.  Seems no worse than cleaning off the rear lens 
element, but much easier.
