I discovered that I have spots in my lens on my Canon SD200, which is
an ultracompact. The spots are in the exact same places (upper right)
in every photo. It is very obvious when at maximum zoom, although you
can see faint spots with no zoom as well. I'm pretty sure it's not on
the outside of the lens because I wiped it with lens cleaner and
tissue, and it made absolutely no difference.

Do you think they are water spots or dust inside the lens? Is this
fixable? Can I do this myself, or have to take it to a repair shop?
This really sucks because it pretty much ruins every photo, especially
when I zoom in and the background is light.
Hello, Bucky:
My Kodak DX6490 (12x "super zoom") has the same problem. It's similar
to your "zoom3x.jpg" example, except there's a single spot, on the
lower-left quarter of the image. It even appears in the EVF (electronic
viewfinder) and LCD panel, in fact, and with very few exceptions, is
only visable in sky shots.
As others have already publicly replied, with this type of issue, the
sensor, itself, must be affected. Someday, I may work up the courage to
dismantle the camera and try to remove the spot. <g>
Good luck!
Cordially,
John Turco <jtur@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
