Just wondering if this is common? While using a fairly high iso 800-1000 when looking at my pics in bridge, I have a few red and green pixels - always in the same place so I'm betting they're on the sensor. Why does this happen and how can I get it fixed? I had the same problem (even more so) on my D200. I know running it through Lightroom takes care of it but I don't think I should have these on a fairly new camera. Should I be thinking of sending my camera in to get those pixels mapped? I was hoping to get rid of this with the D300 and I don't think iso 800 is being unreasonable.

Wow, I don't know too much about this problem...but I've got a D200, D2x, and D300 and have never had this happen Oh no, I did have a blue pixel after going on (camera) safari in Africa, but then I got my sensor cleaned and that took care of the problem!
Oh and I've pumped my ISO to 1600 for maybe 3 weddings this year on my D300 and been pretty happy with my results...I'd go to Nikon and ask them what's up...

Hopefully someone who knows a bit more responds too

I was thinking it might be the sensor needing cleaning as well. Anyone do this themselves? I'm scared!!!! 1600!! Wow, don't think I'm that brave. They looked ok then?

Tiny bit of grain that I took away with some smoothening, or did some "go with the grain" on Actually I remember that for two of those weddings either the church or the reception site had this cool purpleish blueish ambient light that I wanted in the shots so that's why I pumped the ISO.

I've never cleaned the sensor myself I haven't found a photog around here that knows how to do it, so I suck it up and pay the 50 bucks I saw videos on the internet about doing it, but I'm still too scared!!!
