Sony Digital Cameras Specs
Dust specs under digital camera LCD? (and it’s new!!)?
Ok here’s my situation 
-Brand new digital camera (Sony DSCW80)
-Less than 5 days old
-Very light usage (not more than 30 pictures)
-Well cared for (no extreme weather/dust conditions/etc)
Today I was outside in the backyard taking pictures and I noticed that the LCD has tiny dust specs underneath. I confirmed this by wiping off any surface dust and shining a flashlight directly on the LCD screen, and sure enough, the dust specs showed up clearly. They seem to be gathering by the corners underneath the LCD.
1) Is it normal for any digital camera to have this issue? Does this happen to other people?
2) Should I go back to where I bought this and exchange this for another camera (same model) in hope that this is an isolated incident?
I cannot tolerate this because right now, the dust specs are minimal, but I own a cellphone with the same dust problem and in the future my camera’s LCD might look like this:

Take it back, but remember these cameras are cannot be treated like cell phones or MP3 players.
In the future, keep the camera in a case to protect it from the obvious dust problem you encounter from time to time.
This is the first time I have heard of this problem. Usually the LCD’s are sealed to prevent this kind of thing. I have owned digital cameras for over eight years and have never had this problem
