Yeah, I guess you could just start using it and see if it bothers you, and like you say - there are various tools to fix it even if it shows up on a few shots where the ground doesn't obscure it. The C300 having a similar problem helps to give more confidence that your unit wasn't treated especially badly, but also gives less confidence in it happening again, or in the Canon design department! I've had a number of things repair themselves over the years. The power mirrors in an old car I bought just started working out of the blue, and on the same car I bought it from a different state and was taking it to be inspected so it could be registered and I realised I'd forgotten to fix the horn, which didn't work. The guy was running through a checklist and said "horn" and I remembered I never fixed it. I decided to press it, pretend to be surprised, then promise to fix it later, hoping they'd be lenient.. so I pressed it and it worked - scared the crap out of me! I've had electronics do similar things too. I was visiting a friend in the Windows 98 plug-n-play days and he had a new card in his computer that wouldn't work in Windows so we were chatting and just for amusement I tried over and over to install it, using the same process (open device manager, delete the entries with errors, restart, repeat) and I had gotten to the point where I remembered each mouse click in the process and then out of the blue it just installed correctly and worked fine. When something doesn't work now I just treat it as the first offer in a negotiation and switch it off and let it chill for a while and come back to me when it's ready to raise it's offer 😄 -

Are you looking for a generic one that covers all phones? Most of the smaller ones that keep the phone vaguely phone-sized are pretty model-specific. -

It does! Though from what I read when googling it, some Canons have been notorious for it in the past - they even had an upgrade for the C300 to install a better filter to prevent it. The camera looks really clean otherwise, though. It also included the power adapter which MPB said it didn't - I think they just didn't realize that the same power adapter works for both the battery charger and camera. I could call or I can just register it on the website and fill out the maintenance form. Also nice that I'd get 30% off. But it is really small - I'm not completely certain I'll even bother yet. I'm not usually shooting stopped down, it's only on the strongest ND filter, and it's also thankfully near the top of the sensor which means it's where the ground will be if I'm shooting (I'd be more likely to notice it against a blue sky or other patch of solid color vs in the details that tend to come with whatever is on teh ground). Of course, CPS also just recently gave me an estimate that my 85/1.2L that I sent in for cleaning/maintenance needed a new motor because the manual focus ring wasn't working and that it'd be a $700 repair. I asked them to just clean it and send it back because for that price, I could just buy another on the used market. Got it back and both autofocus and manual focus are working exactly as expected. I suspect the technician didn't realize it's focus-by-wire? -

Beastgrip and SmallRig are good options since they support standard filters like NiSi and Urth. A 67mm setup usually helps avoid vignetting too. -
Ah, I didn't realise it was behind a layer of glass... I'm assuming the ND moves in and out of position, so maybe it got it on there when it was out of position? I'm assuming that whole volume isn't completely sealed. It still begs the question of how the dust got into there, and how much dust it's been exposed to in its life... the probability the camera has only ever gotten one bit of dust in it, and that dust happened to get to that spot is pretty slim by my estimation! Can you call CPS to get an estimate for how much it would cost? Maybe that would help inform if it's a return or if you'll keep it and send it off for the service.
