    Canon announced a service advisory regarding oil on the sensor of the two above cameras. ; Apparently when you're taking pics at 10fps oil can fly off the kevlar shutter blades and land on the sensor, so they'll clean it for free.

    Anyway, take a look at their link, it has a good pic of what a VERY small oil drop looks like on a sensor.
