Hmmm...well, you only addressed 18 messages here. That leaves 172 messages that you had overlooked. There are even more now so you'd better get cracking! :p

LOL it keeps getting longer and longer..

I'm a noob... what is the average life expectancy of a pixel and how often should I do the lens cap test to determine when pixel death has gotten to the point where I need a new body?

Life expectancy is indefinite. Or if you put a large static discharge on the sensor it would probably be toast.

I keep getting this when I take a shot with the lenscap on.

It's really freaking me out...

It's not funny...I'm thinking about sending my 40D into Canon about this. :sad:

Just as I suspected -- I see huge blots of hot pixels emanating out of that D700!

OK, another noob question... I've heard that cheaper lenses can cause pixel death to occur near the corners of the sensor (not enough light coming in to keep the pixels healthy) and this causes vignetting over time. Is that where crop sensors come from (full frame sensors with dead-pixels cropped off)?

That is an urban legend that is doubtlessly true. I've heard of crop sensors that are haunted with the ghosts of lenses past -- it's disturbing, I tell you.

Naw. Crop sensors are physically smaller than a 35mm frame, they're manufactured that way. Canon don't take a 35mm FF sensor and take a pair of scissors to it. Never heard about pixel death though - not sure it makes sense, otherwise the sensor would die off when the camera is turned off...

Interesting theory. Time in our universe would have to be reversed for this to occur. In our time line, the crops came first. In a parallel or alternate universe, full frame sensors appeared initially and through something akin to evolution became the crop. Perhaps these crops learned to travel between universes and became trapped in ours. They found we liked them and they slowly and expensively evolved into full frame sensors.

To keep the corner pixels healthy, you would need a center spot mask, black of course. Then point the camera sensor at the sun with spf40 until you smell a bit of burning. The edge pixels should be properly revived with a healthy tan. Enjoy!
