If you were using your K100D actively throughout all these 4 1/2 years, then it might be a good idea to replace it anyway... On 6/21/2011 17:07, Ed Keeney wrote: I have a K100D that is now 4 1/2 years old with about 14000 images taken. I've noticed more and more hot pixels being recorded on my

NO. Definitely buy a new camera. There is no hope in trying to save this one. A K5 would work much better. (You're welcome.) On Tue, Jun 21, 2011 at 10:07 AM, Ed Keeney wrote: > I have a K100D that is now 4 1/2 years old with about 14000 images > taken.  I've noticed more and more hot pix
