    Mark II - hot/dead pixel? laser damage? help anyone?

    Hello

    Last october I bought a new Mark II and was very happy with it. I use it for work, filming everything from tv ads to weddings.

    This last week something came up on my screen. Some purple dots appeared on the center top of my images. It is visible not only in my photos or videos, but also when you turn on the camera on live view. And it appears with any lens I use.

    I searched everywhere for a similar problem, but haven't found anything exactly like mine.

    Here's a photo for you to see.
    At first they look like black dots of smudge, but if you zoom in to its original size or more, you can see they're purple/reddish.

    Has anyone seem anything like this? I read about laser damage to the cmos, but all images I found are very diferent from what I have.
    I tried the sensor cleaning option on the camera, but it didn't do anything for me.

    Have you ever had the camera cleaned by Canon (or someone else)? It looks like the sensor is dirty.
