Hi all:
Thanks for all your info. When I was doing abit more research, I came across this G1 modification site that I find very helpful.
http://www.kleptography.com/notes-irconvert.htm
When I have time, I think I might just do that. :)

Out of the box, digital SPR's aren't really sensitive enough to IR for
normal photography, only lengthy time exposures. There's an outfit that
converts some Canon and Nikon cameras for IR use by removing the IR filters
over the sensor:

I don't think they do 10D's or 20D's (most folks don't want t0o sacrifice
that new a camera stictly for infrared anyway), but they convert D60's. D30
and DRebels.

With the additional note that the 1Ds (mark I and II) can't be converted, because these have the filter (combined IR-block & anti- alias) sandwiched onto the sensor....seems to coincide with CCD versus CMOS. Perhaps someone familiar with both these chips, in design- and manufacture-context, can shed a light on this? (with the most important question being whether one could order a new 1Ds without the filter, straight from the factory (like can/could be done with some aftermarket digibacks for medium format; no IR-block, no anti-aliasing)
