ugh...

I first noticed it last week. When I take pictures of a plain background I can really notice something that looks like a hair in the image. It is the same size no matter what zoom level I'm at, so it is behind the lens - probably right in front of the imager. I have attached a picture - look in the upper right. I cleaned the lens just to make sure.

The camera is about 7 months old so it is within the 1 year factory warranty. Is this something that is typically covered under the Canon warranty? I'll be calling tomorrow to find out. Has anyone sent a Canon camera in for service before? How long did it take to get returned? I'm leaving on a diving trip in 5 weeks and I know these service departments can take their sweet time about fixing things.

Ugh. Thanks,
Nathan

Canon is normally pretty quick. This (Canon Express Service Center 15955 Alton parkway ,Irvine CA 92618 949-753-4200) is the closest one that I know of in SoCal.
