I got my 50D recently and I can't find any bad pixels,although i tried... However, two year back from now I got my XTi and right out of the box it has a huge bright pixel on the LCD and the sensor was very dirty. The bright pixel on the LCD couldn't get more obvious to find just by a glance. Iwonder how Canonwould have not catched such a product. I returned it and the next one was fine.
Same here - I've had my 50D for 3 weeks and only noticed last night I have 2 hot pixels...so looked back at my other pics I've taken when I first got the camera and they appear on those pics too!
I've tried the manual clean trick and that doesn't fix it - is it worth sending it back to Canon as it really is annoying?
I know it's a little sad but I hate to think my new camera requires me to keep editing these hot pixels out in photoshop for every picture I take! [^o)]
On my 1Ds MKIII i found Dust on the first day it s visible and found 3 white dots.Sent to Canon service center for Cmos "Dust Off' it took twice to do it different occassionand now 99% dust free.
