I have a struck pixel right in the middle of my screen during video, it's purple and two white ones on the far edges, is there any fix for this or do I just have to take the camera back? Talk about disappointed.
 
Two choices. Exchange the camera or send it to Nikon and they will remap the hot pixels. At this point I couldn't tell you which option would be quicker, but mapping the pixels would be 'safer' in the sense that there is no guarantee that a new camera will not also have an issue with hot pixels.

Sure, unless the service guys botch the (simple) job for some reason.

This is exactly why the pixel remapping solution should be available to the end user. Sure, some people would mess it up. However, it would save Nikon tons of money through returns and those sending them in for remapping. It seems senseless to not have this option available to the end user.
 
I normally post in the Sony forum as I own and use two of their cameras. However, after having to take both of my wife's Nikon D60's to Nikon Canada during my lunch hour to have hot pixels remapped, I figure I should have some leeway in commenting:

-When my parents first immigrated to Canada many years ago, my father bought a new state of the art stove - it didn't have a dial to adjust the heat settings on each element but push buttons. Nine buttons for each of the 4 elements - ranging all the way from cool to hot - 36 buttons in all. One of the buttons on the stove turned out to be defective. When my dad asked for a refund, the salesman basically said "What's the problem, it's only button one out of 36". My dad in his Russian accent only asked "Was one out every 36 dollars I paid for the stove defective?" He got his refund.
  • Why should Nikon owners accept a product with defects. If you paid the asking price for a camera that wasn't supposed to come with hot pixels then you should get what you paid for. Get your money back. Or get it fixed at Nikon's expense. What's the point in some posters saying it's normal only to have a few hot pixels. Is it normal for Nikon or its dealers to let you go home with a camera after you've paid for it with only a few defective dollars out of the total asking price?

Thats a pretty poor attitude.If you bought a new car and it didnt run properly would you go home and watch the news or take it back.Hes got every rite to expect the camera working without defect.Id take it back and demand it be fixed.
Thnx Paul

Sure your can expect your camera to be what you ordered. The key word is "devastated". A camera can be replaced or fixed. When a loved one dies, I am devasted. When my camera doesn't work I get if fixed or replaced.

Bad analogy. It would be like a carpet fiber or two missing on the floormat.
 
I think your anology is worse,i wouldnt care if a fibre was missing on a floor mat.

Maybe he should have said dissapointed instead of devastated.I never use video so i wouldnt care about it at all,but if he uses it hes entitled to have it running without any defects and not be critisized for it.
Thnx Paul
 
Good thing we've got a Canadian in here, or the spelling police would have to shut this thread down :^)

If you are devastated by a couple dead pixels in your camera, please watch the world news on television or go to church tomorrow and rething you priorities in life.

Normally I would be that way, but when you have a hot pixel dead center even when you play your video back it is just unacceptable, it only shows up during video, and it is glaringly obvious.
 
I've got like twelve, if you dl the video from vimeo you'll see: http://vimeo.com/16196720

Problem is I've already sold the kit lens. :-( and BBY is out of stock anyway. Curious to see how many of them have this issue. I just took another video but at lower iso's and do not see them.
 
Has anyone gotten a DSLR remapped for stuck pixels in video? All the people who talk about other brands that have it built in- did it also work for video?.
So far nobody has answered this question when I ask it.

I have a bad felling that remapping bight only work for still pictures and maybe not video.
Somebody please tell me that I'm wrong on that based on their experience.

Just spoke to Nikon and they want me to upload a video showing the struck pixel.
