I ran http://www.starzen.com/imaging/deadpixeltest.htm
on my *istD and following are the results( shown
against "Results" in the dialogbox). 

I am running 1.11 firmware and shot with lens cap on.
Test1 uses TIFF & Test2 is RAW.

I have doubts
1) Why am I getting so many dead pixels?
2) Why are H/D pixles jump to Megs?
3) Have I got really bad piece?
4) Is this because of bad firmware?

Test1

1/2             6M/6M           6M/6M

2               6M/6M           6M/6M

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks
Ramesh
