How many dead pixels are too many? My understanding is that dead pixels propogate as the sensor ages, and the only way to repair the problem is to drop a new sensor into the camera. Whether an istD is worth that sort of repair, I can't say. As much as I like the camera, I'd bet that a lightly used K10 wouldn't cost much more than replacing an istD sensor, and the K10 is a much more capable camera.
