Hi

Just wondering how many hot pixels are considered reasonable?
Did a few tests at 1/30 and 1/60 at 400/800/1600. So far I have only found 2-4 but they have been in different places each time.

Can't say it bothers me just wondering what is exceptable thats all.

Edit: Using a Xt

Are you using hot pixel test software? If so, dont. They will drive you MAD!
Your results sound perfectly fine.

I'm VERY bad! I'm like that with everything.
I actually suctioned off my 20D LCD cover just because there was a small speck of dust inside *l*
I replaced it without incident,a nd ordered a backup LCD cover just in case I ever need one.
I also returned three G3 cameras before I got one without any dead LCD (not sensor) pixels.
Many would not have cared, but I'm CRAZY anal :)
