After upgrading to 18-200mm lens, the pictures are much much clearer. But wait! Why is the dark spot still there? We had this spot when the camera got mouldy (due to humid weather in SG and we didn't know we got to keep it in dry box) and the guy who cleaned the camera for us said this was the best he could do. If you are observant enough, you'd notice some of the photos we took earlier had this spot. We thought it would go away after changing the lens, but it seemed to be on the sensor.
I guess I got impatient and decided to get another clean-up for the camera. Found a recommended store from the web which is near our place, and off I go.
From the store guy's reaction, this seemed to be a very common problem with DSLR lens. I was asked to give him 45mins, and he would call me when done. He actually took half an hour to remove the spot from the camera. He said it was some grease that had formed which was kinda hard to remove at the edge.
Upon exiting his store I immediately took this shot to confirm:
Perfect! Bye to the dark spot, and no, we'd never want to see you again.
