Are there so many of them that if they don't, the user base would find the imaging to be unacceptable? And why do they move from location to location? Every DSLR has hot pixels, the K20 is the first one that has hot pixels that act like Boxcar Willie. At the risk of being a PF whiner, it seems to me that all firmware can do is map hot pixels on the fly and mask what is, in reality, a hardware (sensor) problem. OTOH, the camera takes lovely pictures. As long as it keeps doing that..... I'm happy.
