Oh those, those aren't hot pixels, they are visitors from another dimension or something like that.

Heh! I haven't responded to this because I can't tell whether it's serious or not!

To the OP, if you are serious, take a shot with your camera of a black surface with no lighting, or with a lens cap/camera cap on, and you will see if you have hot pixels.

If they are serious, get some new friends.

Heres hot pixels.

longer exposures make them more obvious. taking a picture of the reflection in the front element of your lens is not indicative of hot pixels on your sensor.

uhh the little red dot in the middle might be a hot pixel i had the same problem.

take off your lens put the body cap on the body put enable the manual cleaning on leave mirror up for 30sec or longer and then turn off the camera. should go away if not repeat steps but add more time to the mirror being up like a minute or longer

I've never in a millions years heard anyone looking through their camera for hot pixels.Hot pixels are found on long exposures and seen on dark backgrounds. They are caused by temperature from the long exposure, internet search is your friend.

Actually the bottom one is hot .. the top one looks like it's cooled down somewhat ..

Shasta, I think I see the big dipper!

^^ hehe.

Well we'll see what Canon says, I can hear it now, "go away damn it and upgrade already" ,lol

If they had a 5D, the hot pixels would be bigger, but at least there'd be more of 'em...and with a shallower depth of field!

Take your lens off and get some soap, water, and a sponge.

Those should buff right out!
