How about something like on those in-car cameras they use when televising
races, where a new, clean lens cover appears as the old, dirty, oil-smeared one
is shunted aside? That would work just fine and dandy if such a thing were
built into the camera over the sensor, always giving it a clear path to the
light.
Or, even better, how about a new, perfectly clean, never-used-before sensor
moving into position for each shot?
Oh, wait. I forgot. We did that already. It's called "film."
