Isn't blooming associated with the lens, not the camera?
I've never heard of this problem nor experienced it.

For reference, it is listed as an issue in a number of online reviews.
From this review:
Drawbacks:
...
Some performance issues to be aware of. Moire, bright light blooming, and bright light grid noise can rear their ugly pixels if you're not paying attention. If you go above 1/250 shutter speeds, be aware of what triggers the latter two.
From this review:
Blooming:
One of the few negative points of the D70 is that its sensor seems somewhat prone to "blooming." This term refers to a tendency for excess charge accumulated in very bright pixels to "spill over" into adjacent ones. Blooming is one of the things that I designed this test target to detect, and you can see evidence of it here in the reflection of the lights in the shiny pot lid, where magenta halos surround the image of each light. Note that this is not chromatic aberration, as the halos are magenta on all sides of the light images, as opposed to being red on one side and blue/green on the other, as would be characteristic of chromatic aberration.
