Hot pixels that show up in "everyday" exposures, that is, at 100 or 200 ISO and shutter speeds faster than about 1/8 second, are really not that common.
I had two show up after about 6 months use on my Nikon 995, and had them mapped out under warranty.
Regarding editing them out, there may be a way around that. The rules allow software and filters used for "noise reduction". This would IMHO, include a dark frame subtraction, which would eliminate the hot pixels. I'd like an admin's opinion on this, specifically, would a dark frame subtraction be allowed if performed in PS?
