Do you know any interchangeable lenses camera without sensor dust cleaning other than this one ?? it's a shame they removed it

$479 is a very low price, something has to be dropped.

make it 500$ plus sensor cleaning, professional sensor cleaning will cost more than 21$, besides it's a mirrorless camera without mirror tp protect the sensor, the sensor itself is rather shallow due to short flange distance.
What they have here is a recipe for disaster, unless you never remove kit lens....
Anyway my Sony A6000 isn't better here, Sony A6000 sensor self  cleaning is useless and I have serious dust issues.

Sony has come a long way since the A6000 ... released in 2014. ;-)

The A7R V has 70000 cycle-per-second oscillations for shaking off dust.
For comparison - the OM-1 sits at 30000, and Olympus has always been considered the best in this respect.

Of course, an A7R V isn't a mainstream camera but it shows that it's not 2014 anymore.

And there are also better lenses that the 16-50 ;-)

The R100 is a budget offering similar to the hugely popular Rebel series. I'd say the Rebel-level market has pretty much collapsed, but Canon may prove me wrong.
I wouldn't recommend the R100 for sure.

That 28mm f/2.8 is darn cute though.

Well, many points... I get Toni's argument about the cleaning system and often I don't understand certain price policies; but I don't know whether a cleaning system costs only $21.
The usefulness of a cleaning system it's also subjective. I live in a house whose tendency is to be dusty, but dry, so I don't have particular problems with cleaning. I don't see any difference in cleaning the a6000 vs a6300/a6400 for instance. When — less than once per year — the blower isn't enough, I don't have problems with pre-wet swabs. It's just a few euros per cleaning.

On the other hand I'm getting a bit upset by the tendency of having only advanced bodies with higher and higher prices. The latest (probably wild) rumours about next APS-C Sony are about a price of $1999 — usually rumoured prices are higher than the real ones and it could be $1500 after a few months after the release (I see for instance the the SEL2070G price has already dropped about 300€), but it's still really expensive. Ok, this is the APS-C flagship: but the a6100 is 730€ with still the bad EVF of the a6000. For landscape shots an a6000 with a decent number of megapixels in the EVF would be perfect. I thing I'd immediately buy the R100 if I had a Canon system.

Well, the price blowouts are an industry-wide problem.
I think the $2000 price tag for the A7000 (or whatever it'll be called) is realistic. The X-H2s costs $2500, the R7 sits at $1500.

However, there are some good value offerings out there - e.g. the Pana G9 is baffling cheap for what it is.

a baffling cheap camera for what is,  is also EOS RP, close to 1000$ you have full frame with very decent autofocus and specs, I guess it's the best value for money

The EOS RP isn't cheap because any half-decent zoom lens is darn expensive ...
In FF land I'd place my bets in terms of best value on a Z5 - about $1500 with the 24-70mm f/4.

FWIW, the G9 sometimes sells as $1000 ... AUD = 650 USD here in Oz.

Canon policy now is based solely on profit not keeping market share nor leading the market, probably because they consider photography a dying business. and don't care to lose it.
Obviously we don't like such approach, and they might lose big because of it, once you lose your reputation somewhere you lose it everywhere.
Frustrating your customers  even if you think your business is dying is always a bad idea
