If so does it include only the "real" CCD pixels or the fictional bloated ones as well? Come to think of it, where a camera has dead or faulty pixels (identified during testing) does the raw contain them marked as dead or the interpolated ones - thinks, do they still do that or just reject sensors with any dead pixels ...
