Here are a couple of samples taken with my Sony W17 compact, these are 400x400 pixel crops out of the original 3072 x 2304 images.
edit: I tried the image tag around those urls but nothing showed so I've put the images as links, they open in a new window. Not sure how to get the images to show properly here.
It was bought from Jacobs in June 2006, near the end of the first year I returned it because of spots, it came back ok. Almost immediately the spots were back, so it went back again. Finally I sent it to Sony myself and told them I thought there was a 'hidden defect' in the camera. Sony say it's something on the lens and that there is no dust inside the camera. There are more spots that this, these are the worst ones. They don't move around, but they do become more or less noticeable as the zoom is operated.
I have cleaned the lens aggressivley with a non-abrasive household window cleaner - nothing to lose really but that's not helped.
I really like this camera, I've taken nearly 20 thousand images with it, if anyone has comments or suggestions I'll be pleased to hear them.
I bought a Canon G10 about 6 weeks ago to replace the W17.
