On your picture, I also see nasty black dots. One of them is a bird alright, but I'm surprised to see what I suspect is dust/dirt on the sensor. I often switch lense, in many conditions, and without specific care to dust issues, and have never noticed this kind of specks. Would the M8 be more sensitive to dust than, say, the L1 you also own? Wish you the fatest solution to this new problem.
