| Hi gus,
I bought my K20 from the first shipment to the US, a couple of days after they started showing up in stores. It had two hot pixels starting off, but I just kept shooting with it, cloning them out in PP. I had previously had new cameras that exhibited hot pixels new, and they disappeared with time. I had hopes that this would also happen with my K20, and it did. They were not noticeable after about a week's use. Of course YMMV applies, so this might not happen with yours, but I'd try some patience first, then if they don't clear up, I'd just map them out. 5/14,000,000 is a pretty small number. . .
I tend to not obsess about this kind of stuff as you probably have guessed. . .
