    Couple of "hot pixels" on a new 5dIII

    Got the camera last night. There is one "hot pixel" that shows up on shutter speed of 1" or longer. On a 6" exposure there is 1 blue and 1 red set? Blue is interesting as it is not a direct read like the red could be.

    Thoughts?

    So 1 hot red pixel in 22,300,000, I would send it back.

    But seriously, both of my 5D II's would show hot pixel or two on long exposures. I am curious what others with the 5D III will say.

    Canon's magic dead pixel remapping trick is worth a shot.

    Not sure if it works on 5DIII, but I can't see them removing a useful hidden feature like this.
