How common are dead pixels in camera lcds?

[bchreng]

How common is it to have dead pixels in camera lcds? More importantly, are they covered under warranty? I ordered a SD200 recently (gonna arrive soon hopefully) and am really freaking out seeing as how most of the Sony PSPs I've seen had numerous dead pixels on them.

I've had two SD100s in the past and neither had any dead pixels at all. My Kodak 6440 had a whole slew of them though. 🙁

So what do you guys think?

my sister's S200 has none.

my S500 has none.

it's not very common.

not common enough to be "freaking out" over...


if you not happy just return it...

Exchanging items through websites can take forever and I need this camera for E3. I'm also not too sure if they'll take it back because of dead pixels alone.

my sony cybershot t1 has 1 dead pixel (red), and it is very obvious and annoying sometimes

I've never had one.

I've had 3 digital cameras and none of them had dead pixels neither on LCD nor CCD.
Plus, I've seen more than 15 of friends digital cameras and none of them had a dead pixel on LCD.

Bought a " return item " Sony at bestbuy 2 years ago and it had 1 dead pixel.

Just got a Canon Powershot A400 and no dead pixels.
