Not fixed yet. I'm mostly using the camera for photography, so it's ok, but for videos recorded over 1250 ISO with dark backgrounds it is a real pain in the ass. As I said, it is easily fixable in after effects or any other postproduction software, so you can survive with the problem at a cost of adding one extra cleaning process after editing. It's just a matter of scheduling the whole process in advance. Anyway, Canon should keep on eye on their high end products!
I have a RED PIXEL that won't go away with the sensor trick. What do you thin this one is? Maybe a swabbing and E2 solution could fix it? Only for red/blue/green etc.? Haven't cleaned it yet by hand.
@bryronify When you're using the camera to create professional products for clients who don't really want dead pixels on their film which is being blown up to exhibition size....a single dead pixel can mean you getting the next job, or not.
Purplish pixels are fixabe. Just let the caps on, open the shutter in bulb mode for a couple of minutes and restart the camera. The white ones are just dead. Unfixables.
:-( You will have to fix the videos in postproduction (Not really difficult).
I have no clue of Canon politics in this regard, but the stuck pixels are a real problem. Those ones (2) only appear above 1250 ISO, and it sucks. The purplish or redish hot pixels are fixable. Just keep the mirror lock up open one or two minutes and that's it. the withe ones are DEAD. The only way of fixing them is changing the sensor!!
Mine has the same problem, only that my warranty is up. If the repair will cost me a fortune, I will chuck it in the bin and give up with anything creative. Thanks for sharing this example.
Hi, I just got my 5dii from b&h photo, and this one has a very visible purplish pixel in video mode. Im so pissed cause this is the 2nd time I exchanged it. Im going to exchange it one more time before I ask for a full refund. Have you heard from Canon to see if it's fixable? I thought about keeping it, but heck no, not for $2700.00! Please keep me posted. Thanks, Johnny

This looks like a group of dead pixels rather than just 1 dead pixel.

Did you ever get this fixed? Did canon repair?
Was is a painstaking process?
I'm in the same boat,
Thanks.

Hey there. I hope you get your camera fixed man!

what's a single dead pixel against 20 million other pixels working just fine.... you won't even know they exist unless you look for them.... :)

This is absolutely helpful
Thanks for posting
I recently saw mine, looks like the "dead" white pixel in your video.
I noticed it as i filmed at ISO2500 to ISO3200
it became even larger as i zoomed out to 70mm with my 24-70.
at f2.8 to f4.0, i did not see much white spot so is it "dead"
thanks for your help!
