Will also investigate Niks Dfine and look at purchasing it. Yes perhaps im wrong in using the term hot pixels as they are not in every shot and not necessarily in the same position in the long exposures though they do have those same characteristics, sparkling different coloured shining pixels. My my intention to upgrade to the D7100 has been on my mind for a while. I'm not upgrading to try and get away from this issue, I'm upgrading because I want the extra features that the D7100 offers. This originated really because my noise issue was becoming more prevalent in my thoughts and wanted  to hear people's experiences of using it for long exposures. I suppose my issue was/is - is there an issue with my D3200 sensor,or is it behaving normally and the level of noise or whatever it is comes with the territory and has to be put up with or worked on in PP, or do I need to work on my technique to greatly reduce this noise issue I see. I was was concerned that this level of noise may be something that comes with the nikon cropped sensors and would have no improvement on the D7100. This place is my only real place for information. Although I am member of a small local camera group, they are all Canon shooters so have no experience with Nikon and they don't seem to have the same issues I am having. Finally thanks for your feedback. It's greatly appreciated.</blockquote>
