Short answer, Nathan - YES, I have experienced dirty sensors on 
non-interchangeable lens cameras. 

But not on interchangeable lens cameras (though OT brands).

I noticed a while ago that images taken with my Panasonic LX 100 have a 
smudge in the upper right part of the image:

Since the camera does not have interchangeable lenses, I did not expect dirt 
on the sensor, but that is apparently what it is?I see nothing on the front 
element of the lens. And of course since I cannot take the lens off, I 
cannot clean the sensor either. So I guess I am reduced to either cropping 
away the offending part of the image, or using the tools in LR to get rid of 
the smudge.

Still, very annoying. Have others experienced something similar with this 
type of camera?

Cheers,
Nathan
