While I am generally impressed with my T30 there are too many occasions when strange spots appear on the image. They appear to look as if several balloon like dust spots or water spots had spilled on a piece of film. The spots ruin the image.

Usually occurs when shooting indoors with flash. To me it looks like lense refraction of some sort. I wonder if this is a design flaw as I have never seen this with any other camera.

I have spoken to Sony and they suggest it is dust in the air reflecting from the flash. I find that the Red Eye with the T30 is also very unnacceptable.
Does anyone have comments or light to shed on these problems with the T30.

Check out the discussion of the question "How come there are bubbles when taking night time pictures using Sony T50?"

Sounds like Sony needs to do a recall.
