Chris, I definitely saw 4 hot spots, probably caused by some hot
clusters. I fortunately don't have any on my ist D, but my Canon G1
has a few hotties, so I am quite familiar with them.
Dust on the sensor will come out as dark spots, not the bright red or
green blooming spots that showed in the samples.
