A page listing cameras which can be converted for near-infrared, and requests for photos/documentation of cameras to be converted.

Excellent

Cameras which are easy to convert and work well:

Canon

Canons usually convert easily and are a favorite:

  • Canon A490 or A495 (see conversion on YouTube) (~$50, 10 megapixel)
  • Canon A1200
  • Canon A2200
  • Canon A810: The IR block filter removal went smoothly and was successful even though I had never opened up a camera before. Its 16 megapixels is more than you really need.
  • Cannon A800 It was really straight forward like the other cameras.

Requests

Cameras which have not yet been converted -- if you've done it, please move it up!

Videos

This video, listed above, shows the removal of a filter on a Canon A495, but then shows a film negative filter taped to the front. For Infragram conversions, we recommend you put the Infragram filter inside the camera -- exactly where the IR-block filter used to be.
