Spots in photo after camera was just cleaned!
Guess I need to bring this back tomorrow.
I had a similar finding 12-yrs back with one of my Fuji cameras that came back 'dirtier' than it went away ~ so it was returned for another go
The first few times I tried cleaning any of my slr sensors, I soon discovered that the test pics one needs to take afterwards MUST be shooting a clean / empty scene ... in my case it is upwards towards blue sky, camera set to F22 and deliberately moved sideways during the exposure so that nothing is actually in focus and so on. Most times I need to do the 'swipe' action 3 or 4 times until it's perfect.
I presume that your cleaning mob didn't have this available and their test shots did not show up any issues.
As effrom says above "learn to DIY" it isn't hard and you certainly won't damage the sensor if you follow the maker's instructions. Enjoy
Hope this helps

Yeah, I do it myself. But I still have my moments when I personally will send off my camera for professional cleaning. Call me lazy.
You aren't lazy, but smart. I also send my body in at times... to Nikon repair...they also lube, adjust and update firmware....(CLA). Its well worth it.
Why so serious?
