That looks like a dirty lens..try wiping it off with a glasses cloth

I have the same problem...it's an internal problem with dust inside the camera itself. You may have to take it in.

if it's a DSLR, chances are you have sensor dust which isn't good.

its a Samsung ES73...

Damn, that's too bad. Some DSLRs allow you to clean the sensor manually using a light air blower to clear dust...

well im not sure what i was thiiking but last night i decided to blow hot air on the lens and fog it up, then suck the air back in using a vacume ( i was desperate ) and it worked LOL :S but now im very cautious when i go transit fanning, im sure this was when i tried to get dust shots of a Orion V

My canon has that problem. I think it's there to stay! My Panasonic (current) camera has none.

 

Here's a photo from the Canon with such a spot...

if you have CS3 i heard you can remove it but if your cleaning it do it professionally not like me, my way may have been a quick fix but i shouldn't of done it because it was wayy to risky

I have the same problem too. Cleaning the lens doesn't help. I think the dust spots are on the inside of the lens.

I thought pointing the camera directly at the sun like that pic you posted is a no no....isnt it bad for the sensor?

[SoSpectacular 775]

Also bad for your eyes if you're looking through the viewfinder on a DSLR

[buswizard 93]

Uh oh...there's a spot on my Panasonic now!!! At least it's not in the middle of the pic, so it's croppable.

ouch you just had bad luck there take it to a shop if you want/need to or buy a new one ( if you have the money )

I just got a quote for getting a sensor cleaning for my Canon SX10. The price was $72 CAD plus tax. Is that worth it?

It beats paying for a new camera $350+

I actually was thinking of getting a new camera. My SX10 just turned a year old today but it's starting to fail. It doesn't focus in low light conditions anymore, it isn't as sharp as before and the flash doesn't work. That plus the hood+thread broke off the lens.
