Just bought a brand new d7000 and this is what I see :(

How do i remove/clean?

Kit lens 18-105mm

Im guessing this is a dirty viewfinder... i have tried to clean the outside of it already with no result. Does not show up in pictures.

If it shows up through the viewfinder but NOT on the images it is most likely dust on the mirror or the bottom of the viewing screen. Remove the lens, point the camera lens opening down, and blow it off with a bulb duster. DO NOT use canned air to blow it off.

If it shows up on the images but NOT through the viewfinder it is probably dust on the sensor assembly. Refer to your owner's manual on how to lock the mirror up. Point the camera so the lens opening is down. Blow the dust off the sensor with a bulb duster. DO NOT use canned or any other high-pressure air to blow it off. If that doesn't remove it you may need to use a sensor cleaning swab on it. DO NOT use Windex or anything like that. Improperly cleaning the sensor can virtually ruin your camera.

dude.. go outside.. take a picture of cloudless blue sky at the smallest aperture (F32 or so) you have at ISO 100.... This will give you the best Dust Map you can get.

Dirty Sensor...probably oil. There have been several 7000's with this issue... some people sent their camera's in for cleaning.. some of us cleaned them ourselves.
