Stuck pixels on S2 Pro (1 Viewer)

Hello everyone,

I've just purchased my first DSLR, a Fuji Finepix S2 Pro, from KEH camera. I've heard nothing but good things about KEH and have been pleased with other purchases I've made from them. This is my problem. I paid about $500 for the camera body and it looks to be in excellent condition, however it has five or six stuck pixels that show bright green, or red, or blue. Mostly showing up in long exposure shots (> 1 sec), but under some circumstances I can see one pixel even in broad daylight at 1/350 sec exposure. I realize this is a known problem with all DSLR's and they can come this way brand new, straight from the factory. My question is this...how many of you would find this acceptable and just clone the hotspots out...and how many would return the camera and maybe request another. I have about a week remaining in which I can return it. Thanks for your opinions.

Rick
