:)) It's actually a quite interesting market-gap currently....while several digicam's (more non-SLR than SLR) seem capable of nice b&w IR images, none can do color IR in one shot. And that's for a market that isn't squirmish for paying high-dollar prices (at the current pricelevel of digicam's, even doubling prices for modification would be eagerly accepted). Was that Canon monochrome IR or color IR? The latter is what makes things interesting for the geo/aerial market....it's also the market that stimulated the inclusion of GPS- data for the same range of camera's. Also note a more general market gap, 'filmspeed' up to 6400 ASA with both (ordinary) monochrome and monochrome-IR, which both Canon DCS 3m and 3ir had.... (same for the equivalent Nikon DCS 420/460) Here a few URL's I have rescued from oblivion: http://www.eomonline.com/Common/Archives/June95/airborne.htm http://www.whittlespublishing.com/pdf/das.pdf <http://www.kodak.com/cgi- bin/webCatalog.pl?section=&cc=US&lc=en&product=KODAK+Professional+DCS+ IR+Digital+Cameras> <http://www.geoinformatics.com/issueonline/issues/1999/04_05_1999/pdf_ 04_05_1999/art_7_3.pdf> Very sad state of information about these camera's.... (Kodak should be ashamed for having pulled all their abundant info about these old DCS-cameras....I have nearly a dozen old links that lead to nowhere anymore....:(( Btw, both Kodak/Nikon DCS 200 CIR & DCS 420 CIR are much less desirable, since they have the same very small CCD-size as the Kodak/Canon DCS 5. (info about the latter is also pretty scarce everywhere, even the Canon museum ignores it) And even the WayBackMachine is no help here, apparently Kodak blocked access to search-engines back then....:(( http://www.archive.org/web/web.php -- Bye, Willem-Jan Markerink The desire to understand is sometimes far less intelligent than the inability to understand <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [note: 'a-one' & 'en-el'!] * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
