<p>Well, now you have me looking for it. I took a portraight of my granddaughter, ISO 2000, f/5.6, 1/15 second. She has on a white shirt, and I shot a black background. The aforementioned red pixel showed up in her shirt, and an additional blue pixel showed up on her face. It's possible another one or two are hiding in her hair.<br>

I've had the camera less than a month, bought from BuyDig.com. Is this something I should do something about? If Nikon is able to map them out, why don't they do that before shipping?</p>

<p>I tried the method described above. At ISO 6400, 1 second, I don't see any. At 2 seconds, a red one shows up dead center near the bottom, very dimly. As I increase the exposure, it becomes brighter, and eventually is joined at 30 seconds by numerous red, blue, and yellow ones. I'm guessing only the single distinct red one would be considered a "hot" pixel, is that right? Are the others cosmic ray or local radio noise or some such phenomenon?</p>

<p>Sorry, that should have read "Gyeongbokgung"</p>

<p>Oh, I see I can't upload greater than 100k. Here are links to the baby picture and one of Gyeongbokgung Palace:<br /><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/krcqhaNYbHw0Q1jQ7lJUzQ?feat=directlink">http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/krcqhaNYbHw0Q1jQ7lJUzQ?feat=directlink</a><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/ronsprunger/RonAndJudyInKorea#5300371935243376706"></a><br /><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/wtwVkjA8In-mE0mKrcnFug?feat=directlink">http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/wtwVkjA8In-mE0mKrcnFug?feat=directlink</a></p>

<p>I got the D700 last month for a trip to Korea to welcome a new grandson. It's my first Nikon, and I couldn't afford anything other than the kit lens. Used it heavily indoors with the new baby, and outdoors for sightseeing, pretty much all focal lengths. For a walking around lens, I couldn't be happier, but it is heavy. Here's an example, shot at 66 mm, ISO 1600, 1/30 sec with VR at f 5.3. Lighting was from a window eight feet behind the baby, and an incandescent light about 5 feet over my left shoulder.</p>
