Hot pixels : should I ask for a new camera?

[Lovin]

I have 3 or 4 hot pixels that I can see them on every long exposure image in the dark.
Should I ask for a new camera or send it to service for this?
After I google this subject, I find out that in the end all the cameras has it, so it's not worth t to ask for a replacement, because the new one will have it too sooner or later.

What do you advice me ?

Thank you,
Lovin

How old is your camera? Is this covered under warranty? How long can you be without one? Only you can tell, but if it were me and the answers were a few months or weeks, yes and I have a back up, I'd sent it for repair or replacement.

Hot pixels? We are talking about the LCD right?

If so, then they are probably right in saying most will this issue. Monitors are often the same. However, if it's under warranty I'd take it in and at least ask the question.

The camera is brand new, just couple of months old, so is still under warranty. I don't know how long will take at service to send me back fixed, or a new one.

MA : I'm talking about hot pixels (dead pixels) on sensor.
When I'm taking some shots with long exposure in the dark, on every image, I see 5 pixels (blue, red, yellow or even white) in the same place, same colors every single time.

So... five pixels isn't too much for a brand new camera?

I'm no good to you then because I've never heard of this. And after owning several DSLR's have never noticed it if it existed on my cameras.
I'd be going back to the shop and bitching like a teenager when the power goes out for 5 mins!!!

It's an issue that can (but not necessarily will) rear its ugly head with all makes and models when shooting long exposures. The general consensus is that it is a heat issue and will only get worse over time. Makes me wonder what the effects of shooting live video has on the sensors and for that reason, I've never placed my D90 0r D300S in video mode.
