Chris, I definitely saw 4 hot spots, probably caused by some hot clusters. I fortunately don't have any on my ist D, but my Canon G1 has a few hotties, so I am quite familiar with them. Dust on the sensor will come out as dark spots, not the bright red or green blooming spots that showed in the samples. William Robb
