Help.... my lens is seeing spots!!

[porkscooter]

Hi everyone,
I own a canon S21S digital SLR and It has been awesome except for lately I noticed a few small white spots in my photos. I have looked and don't see ANY scratches on my lens.I cleaned it and yet, the darn spot is still there!...can anyone help me figure out what is causing this?
:mad2:

Here is one pic that shows the spots...they are both in the center of the photo, there is a blue one on the left and a white one on the right.

Are you mainly seeing these in low light and indoors shots?

These look like 'hot' or 'stuck' pixels to me, rather than a lens problem.

It probably isn't a lens problem, at least it doesn't sound like it. It seems like there are hot pixels on your sensor. You will need to send it to Canon for fixing, there is nothing you can do about it otherwise.
