Can't remember where, but I did read a rumour that the new 1Ds will not have built in sensor cleaning. If this is true, we'll have to see. But I read in a electronic magazine "Click" distributed by Canon South Africa today that their service partners will now offer free sensor cleaning to all EOS bodies purchased after January 2011. As far as I know you lucky international shooters already have free cleaning from Canon, so you might ask what's the big deal?
I also know that the camera technicians had to go for training recently. I don't think it was training on something new or exciting, but this announcement from Canon SA came after this. And it just got me thinking that MAYBE we will indeed see a new camera without auto sensor cleaning and they had to be sure their technicians are capable of cleaning the sensors?
Take this with a pinch of salt - just thought I'd share my 2 cents worth.
