img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/devils-haven/semple.jpg

help me, is this just dirt on the ccd?(i opened and placed shuter on bulb mode and looked at the ccd i saw nothing there with my eyes).

i have looked at all my pictures, i can see this dot in every single one, some more obvious some less.

should i return it to the store, ask them to clean it? return it and replace?(could it be a defect not just dirt?) or go somewhere else to clean it?

i bought it at bestbuy here in canada no extanded service plan!

thx for any assistance!!

Don't panic!

I don't think it's dust. It looks like it could be a little condensation. Did you take it from air conditioning into humid air?

Get a cleaning kit with sensor swabs and the cleaning fluid. If that doesn't cure it then consider taking it back. The cleaning process looks daunting but it's really not. It's a skill you have to develop if you want to change lenses.

I use 3 ways:

The Sensor swabs, an air bulb and a special camel hair brush from Visibledust.com. The air bulb and Sensor swabs work the best.

Those visible artifacts (?) are easy to fix using the cloning tool in Photoshop.

I had this same thing happen to me with my Canon 20D when I first purchased it. I inquired about this issue on Byte and this thread really helped me through my problem:

I tried cleaning my CCD with the cleaning kit, but ended up having to sent the camera back to a dealer to have it cleaned professionally.

I'm glad that you were able to clean the sensor on your own.
