I emailed the editor and he says that they DID NOT use the manual "CCD clean" function on the Sony A100 which is much more violent than whatever the camera does on startup. The editor says that they did not do this because the "normal user" doesn't know about this function. My guess is that they didn't know about it when they did the test. Avoiding any manual cleaning features on any of these cameras is not truly testing them.

As a A100 owner, I know for a fact that the A100 manual cleaning function does a lot more than just cycling the power on the camera. The camera literally vibrates for a full second and you can clearly feel it.

Hello, I was JUST playing with my new sony, and I tried out the manual CCD cleaner, which does vibrate the sensor at a very high speed. It seems however that most of the tests which deem the Sony's cleaner useless, did not test the manual cleaning option! What an invalid test!
