Has anyone had this problem in the past and is it covered by Canon's warranty policy? Dirk

I m pretty sure I have a dust spot just behind the AA filter glass. It looks different than regular dust specks and I cant see it on the sensors surface:
Has anyone had this problem in the past and is it covered by Canon's warranty policy? It's a little hard to see from your image, but it sure looks like an oil droplet to me. If so, you'll need Eclipse to remove it.

Feb 20, 2011 16:38 | #4 I am 100% sure that it is behind the AA/IR glass and very close to the actual sensor, because the spot is very sharp at f22, which is unusual for regular sensor dust. You can notice sensor dust as a blurry dark spot on f22, but its not very sharp.
Its on the right edge in the middle, next to the brightness slider:
I m gonna call Canon tomorrow, I hope they can replace the sensor without any cost. @Nicholas, some other guy had exactly the same problem with his camera. The spots look just like mine, with the white halo arround them: http://www.fotocommunity.de/pc/pc/display/23131578 Dirk

I doubt Canon is going to replace your sensor because of that. If anything they will just clean it and send it back.

joeseph "smells like turd"  More info | Feb 20, 2011 16:54 | #6 super-mod Moppie had a 40D that came with dust between the filter & sensor. Canon had a look & sorted it under warranty. some fairly old canon camera stuff, canon lenses, Manfrotto "thingy", and an M5, also an M6 that has had a 720nm filter bolted onto the sensor:
