What are these spots?

Yup, I have to agree, those are spots created by dust on the Sensor. Should be an easy fix.

Tried the cameras sensor cleaning three times and it's still there. I think I'll have to get a sensor cleaning kit.

Before you try a wet clean, see if you can dislodge the dust with a rocketblower. I am amazed by how seldom I have to break out the sensor swabs and liquid nowadays.
I use this a lot. Seems to work better than a sensor clean to me.

Thanks. When I get it clean, I'm going to get serious about keeping my cameras clean from now on. I didn't use to pay attention to things like the rear lens caps or body caps and the body lens mount ring. I had a can of scootable air but it sometimes gives off a liquid residue, so not a good idea even if I knew where the heck I put it! lol.

The risk of LOX droplets is exactly why you should use a rocketblower instead. Air in a can is *not* recommended for cleaning cameras.

I had to look up LOX droplets he he. What would I do without google?
I found a site called cameraclean.co.uk which has a blower with a filter at the end so you don't suck in dust, then blow it back out into the camera. A bit dear but och, it's only money. I have a blower that is too small and it desn't give much of a blow.

Never used canned air in or around your cameras. Never.
Use the Rocket Blower if you must but nothing stronger.
