I got excited about the hot pixel issue when it first came up, but when I realized it was somewhat normal I settled down. If noticed it's really easy to fix. My main concern would be not about the hot pixels you have when the camera is new, but what about 6 months to a year from now? Will the sensor degrade and the hot pixel issue worsen with time and usage? I'm guessing it will worsen, but will it be at a rate that is even an issue? What's the oldest *ist D on this list right now? Since Canon & Nikon have had DSLR's longer, some of their statistics might be relative as well. Dave
