Sorry if this is the wrong place to post, it looked like the best for me.

I have a Nikon Coolpix 995, and all the pics I've taken over the past month or so has 2 green pixels and 1 red pixel at the same place on each pic.

- Is my CCD going bad?

- Is it worth repairing? (I would like a more compact camera, recommendations appreciated)

Thanks!

Can you show us a sample image?

Look at www.sextant.cc/test2.jpg. I down-sized it, but you can still see the green pixels. Red arrows point to them.

Go for the Sony cybershot DSC W1... 5MPs, small, has adaptors for a telephoto conversion, and a giant LCD screen for playbacks... Plus its cool.

Other than that, I dont think its worth replacing, personally... But then, I dont really know anything about digital camera repairs and their related costs...

Some other nice cameras are the Canon Powershot G5 or G4, or even the G3 (if you can still find it around)... And the Nikon Coolpix 2400, 5400, 5700, or even 8700...

Did I mention the Carl Zeiss lens? Or that it has that nifty slow-synchro flash mode? Thats all I really know about it... I did hear, though, that the max f-stop number (smallest aperture) is only 5.2... And its not too quick of a camera, either...

Sorry, I forgot that youd wanted references for smaller cameras, and the those coolpixes, and event the powershots for that, are not as small as youd probably like...

Thanks for the info! What do you thinkl about the Sony DSC-T1? My only reticence about that one is that it does not appear to have an eye viewfinder, just the screen, which is a disadvantage in high light situations, I find. (And it doesn't have the lower F-stop the W1 has either.
