I got a replacement camera, now I have 3 hot at 1/6 vs 15 with the previous camera. There are 60 of them at 10 seconds. I think I will accept this one as I am tired of waiting for replacement and I want to take some pictures. I can't even notice these 3 in normal pictures, after 1/6 noise reduction kicks in so it is not an issue.
