Dead Pixel Still

Dead Pixel Still

The camera store told me that my camera had been repaired. The instructions to the repair center were very specific (I watched the camera store employee write them up.) The instructions were to replace the sensor because of a dead pixel near the center of every photograph. I believe the only thing this camera repair shop did was to clean the sensor thinking I would just go away after that. I took the camera for the weekend to take some shots and will be bringing my camera back to be repaired on Monday. The photo above is just one of many pictures of my son with a dead pixed on his body. Not only is it in every shot, but it's getting bigger and bigger!

While my friend Kevin is taking awesome pictures of the sunset in California, I am at home attempting to see things around the house in a different way. The sunset here in Michigan was equally stunning, and had I not been doing my day job I could have captured it's brilliance. Instead, this clock was the choice for today's post.

I have a dead pixel on my D80 camera that is almost in the center of the frame and it's really starting to annoy me.

Once the file is converted to jpg the pixel deformation is not as noticeable, but I still know it's there. Is a dead pixel on a brand new Nikon D80 camera a normal thing? Should I have it repaired or will that make it worse?
