Lol. It's kind of funny to me that a guy from IS said this problem was rare. Perhaps I have had bad luck over the years...I still own 6 CCD webcams & 5 of them have dead or stuck pixels. In each case I was concerned UNTIL a did my first stack with them. I haven't thought about them since, even though I see these pixels every time I use it/them.

If I was going to be fooling around with single shots from these webcams you can be certain I wouldn't own a cam with any pixel problems as I would have returned them all. Seeing as I stack thousands of frames though, the problem becomes null & void. Have a look at any of my planet images to put your mind at ease over this.

There is a very good possibility of returning the camera, receiving a perfect one, & then it developing the problem 3 days later, 3 weeks later or 3 months later. After saying that it may not develope at ALL.
