My Canon 5d3 seems to have more hot pixels when doing long exposures than my 7d which personally I don't think it should given the extra price and quality.

Does anyone know if there is a max no. of hot pixels that a camera should really have?

I've just been out doing some milky way stuff and counted 27 hot pixels on one image, something that I am not at all happy about.

However, my 5d3 has taken a good bounce from about 4-5 feet up in the air and a few tumbles. Would this effect the sensor at all?

Shouldn't have affected the sensor. Raw processing should map them out otherwise there is supposed to be a method of mapping them out Vida the sensor cleaning process.
