Canon PowerShot G3 590nm IR SUPER COLOR converted camera outfit!

Infrared photography opens up an unseen world of beauty and never-ending surprise. What you’re buying here is a Canon G3 with its internal IR cut filter removed and replaced with a 590nm longpass filter. This filter blocks longer wavelength visible light and allows shorter wavelength visable IR light to be recorded by the camera.

The results? You’ll have a camera that will capture surrealistic imagery without the need for long exposures or the need for a tripod. With the 590nm filter in place, you can achieve surrealistic colors with plenty of options for post processing. BnW IR photography can be achieved with software conversion or by using the G3's built in B+W mode. I provide a tutorial and the software to do this.

The camera’s condition: The camera is mechanically perfect. The lens retracts and extends quietly. The glass is perfect. The viewfinder is clear and clean. The LCD has no dead pixels. The antiglare coating shows modest wear. Cosmetically, the body’s condition is average for a camera of it's age with some wear of the symbols on the knobs and grafitti on the bottom (please see my pictures as they are my description).

Why should you buy from me?

No surprises when you open up that box. I take good quality photographs of everything for your peace of mind. I have almost 30 years experience behind a camera and I know what photographers want. I also have 14 years on eBay with 100% feedback so I know how to make sure buyers stay happy. I use the finest quality custom made German Schott/Zeiss optical glass filters for the conversion to assure the best possible outcome.

What you get: Everything you see in the pictures which are:

· The camera with the latest firmware preloaded and exhaustively tested.

· A BP511 battery tht will hold a charge (spare battery highly recomended).

· An original Canon AC adapter/charger (wall charger highjly recomended).

· A 1GB CF card which will store over 900 .JPG captures!

· An original leather Canon case.

· The copy of G3 owner’s manual on CD.

· My resource CD which will include 3 full books in .PDF format, a tutorial on how to edit IR images, and the software to do it.
