Anyone know what it might be? Is it just a dusk particle that can be easily removed or is it a flaw of some kind? Does it need to go back to Canon to fix?   Mike "Sparkz"

sandpiper Cream of the Crop  More info | Yep, just a bit of crud on your sensor, nothing to worry about. They throw some in free with every purchase, all my DSLRs had some when new.

LOL, if one dust bunny is driving you crazy, you are going to either suffer OCD and become very well practised in sensor cleaning, or end up in an asylum.
