They are a consumer feature not a pro feature as far as I see it. I expect to see them in small plastic cameras. Photographers cleaned their own sensors for years before these vibrating sensors came out I think they can continues doing so when the occasion arises to need to do so. [Rabs] Mark William Rabiner
