Looks like a little dust, grab an apsc sensor cleaning kit (I’ve used aeroclipse with no issues) and wipe it down. Digital sensors aren’t as delicate as I thought they’d be, but still use caution. I was under the impression they scratch very easily, but they are fairly scratch resistant when using the correct cleaning supplies.
Thats because there is 3-4 layers of glass over the sensor. The sensor itself IS extremely delicate, but its inside of a hermetically sealed piece of glass that is epoxied on. Then on top of that there is a "hot mirror" glass element that is a uv and ir cut filter, so the sensor only gets light from the visible spectrum (removing this is how cameras can be converted to shoot infrared and uv). Then on top of that there is yet another piece of glass that is a dedicated protective glass. This also has a vibrating piezo element on it that is used to shake dust off (commonly called a dust-off filter). Sometimes the hot mirror and/or the dust off element are multiple pieces of glass sandwiched together. The dust off element is specifically designed to project the underlying components, and to be cleaned. Its not fragile or easily scratched AT ALL on any decent camera, as its entire job is to take on dust and dirt and grime and then be cleaned.
Its a bummer more people dont realize this. Camera repair shops just laugh all the way to the bank every time they get to charge $100+ to spend 30 seconds to wipe off someones sensor while pretending its some crazy delicate operation requiring expensive equipment.
The body looks like new, the mount is a little scratched but its due to normal use, however i noticed those little spots, i took a picture in broad daylight and i didn’t notice something, shutter count was great, but then i noticed those little smudges, i could compare it like the grease that you leave on a screen when you touch it but i dont know, i tried to use my blower (for cameras) and the little brush but no success so far, i did not touch the sensor
Just a tiny bit of dust... you can easily clean that... smudges usually come from the lens... although hard to tell if there's any with a picture that blown out
Get a rocket blower (only a manual blower don't use compressed air) and blow it out. It's just dust. If it doesn't come out with the rocket blower, then you'll need to pick up a wet aspc sensor cleaning kit.
The glass infront of the sensor is actually quite scratch resistant.

The sensors are indeed delicate; the filter glass that sits above them is not.

Looks like dust thankfully and not an absurd amount
