I got dust on my CCD! Now there are grey blobs all over my pictures... what can I do about it? I tried blowing with an air compressor (very lightly) but that didn't get it off.

Help and junk

are you sure it's on your CCD and not your lens?

Damn sure. I can see it on the CCD when I tell the camera to life the mirror.

I had... This problem:

Except in his case, the dust contamination was minimal. In my case, it's all up in the viewfinder and everything. I'm thinking about just taking it back to the store and getting my money back...

I took it back to the store and got my money back (Wal-Mart has a good return policy, if you don't abuse it *too* much). I'm thinking of going with a Pentax k100D to replace it.

But before I do that, does anyone have any critique on the pictures in this thread? (it's trash, give up photography, ur ghey, etc...)
