Lili,
hot pixels are a problem with all cameras and maybe the GX100 has a few more problems because of the noise issue and the fact that people are too busy looking for defects. But Ricoh could remove a lot of the issue with pixel mapping. As could all manufacturers. With a night time sky shot I got far more than stars from the Gx100. I did send files to Ricoh service.They said my camera was borderline for the amount of hot pixels. It hasnt worsened or bettered since. Ricoh did offer to look at the camera but I decided to live with it.I dont think my pictures have suffered at all. Well I dont shoot night skies.... Plus I can use the dark frame in UFraw if needed.
That said the last time I ran pixel mapping in my Olympus C5050z the hot pixels remained.
