As I wrote earlier this week, my istDs does have about 5 always lit pixels (or maybe it's just one, but then very hot :-)). While I certainly can't say I like it, I'd be much more worried if I found for example viewfinder to be misaligned. > I know I wouldn't accept a $900 LCD monitor that had a defective > pixel right off the bat. me neither. But hot pixel on the screen attract your attention, while hot pixel on sensor just disappears in the process. Also there's no guarantee that formerly immaculate sensor won't develop one or more bad pixels after a while. Forget about it and go take some pics. ;-) Cheers, Peter -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
