Originally posted by krebsy97 Shame on me for returning the first camera. Some display manufacturers (Dell's Ultra Sharp comes to mind) consider even one dead or stuck pixel to be defective. Having said that, per the Pentax manual, this is not the policy with their cameras. Again, shame on me.
I was referring to camera manufacturers. Even for display manufacturers though, a single stuck pixel allowing a return is *not* the norm, nor anywhere close to it. That's a policy available only on products whose premium pricing reflects the policy (and you can be sure they're going out of their way to carefully test every LCD panel before installation to ensure there are no stuck pixels to cost them money on that policy, with the rejects going straight in their other products.)

Could be, could not be. Either way, does it affect the shooting experience? Almost certainly not, as somebody who's noticed the same thing with their own camera, and who pays attention to which AF points are active when shooting.

Actually, it is your problem. You too are paying higher prices than you need to for your products, because you (and others like you) insist on buying products they don't actually know if they want or can afford, and then returning them for extremely dubious reasons.
