That's typical. I didn't see anything that made me flinch.
A good set of flats and darks will take of that easy-peasy.

on my canon 500D I see tons of hot pixels easily 100 times more severe and brighter ones. even when simply recording in video mode in 1080p. its awful

but my new canon SL1/100D i see almost NONE when recording video in video mode
especially after doing the "clean sensor manually with dust cover on and OVF covered" trick which actually 100% made a difference.
theres practically no hot pixels. even in extremely low light.
