The best technology in this domain is in the Olympus E system bodies.
They have a sensor cleaning cycle built in every time you turn the
camera on or change a lens.
But it's not a big problem with the Pentax. I've cleaned one of my DS
bodies a total of twice, the other never. And I'm not exactly "clean
room" careful with changing lenses. ;-)

Hi William and Shel
Does every digital SLR need that sensor cleaning or are there
better dust
sealed bodies and are the Pentax ones better or worse in this
regard than
other brands?
For me as a film user, that "cleaning sensor thing" seems to be
necessary
quite often, Shel's camera is nearly new.
I seldom clean my film bodies, I just have a look at the film
pressure plate
when I change film if it is clean.

Time to clean the sensor in the DS ... locked up the mirror and
saw the
sensor thingy. It looks like there's a plastic layer over the
actual
pixel
