I don't get this? Olympus E-300 is $700 and it has it.
Canon's top DSLR is $8000.00...

There may be patents in play that would prevent other dSLR manufacturers
from using the Olympus method without paying hefty licensing fees.

Would you please stop with these ridiculous posts?


The only ridiculous thing is your stupid reply.

Rich has a good point; if Olympus can afford to provide an extremely
effective and efficient dust removal system in a $700 camera, why
can't Canon provide something similar in an $8000 camera?

Perhaps your bad tempered reply reflects your inability to accept that
manufacturers other than Canon can actually do some things better than
the god you worship.


It's not just the 'dust shaker', what about the Olympus 'in-camera' ' Pixel
Mapping? Surely, that's something that should be standard on every dslr,
irrespective of make or model?

You've only got to read the various online forums to realise how prevalent
bad pixels are, yet only Olympus allow you to sort them out quickly and
conveniently. If only Olympus hadn't chosen to go with the 4/3 rds system,
their market share would surely be far larger than it is.
