Yes - I don't see any hot pixels in the shot above, even downloaded and blown up to 400% because of this. I've had hot pixels show up usually as green. It's a bright neon green dot (one pixel of course) and usually bleeds into the surrounding pixels to the left, right, up and down so a total of four that have a greenish tint around it. I'll try to look for an example. I only have it happen with long exposures - occasionally with my DSLR but almost always with my Coolpix 5000 at over 1/4 sec.

Post a 100% crop in an area that has the problem and we can tell you for sure what it is. There may be an easier way to do this, but I would open the image in Photoshop and enlarge it to 100% using the Navigator tool. Then use the Crop tool (make sure to clear the settings for size, resolution, etc) and make a selection roughly the size of the image posted above. This will give you a small part of the image but will be at a size that will show the problem. If anyone has a better way of doing a 100% crop I'd like to hear it!
