Nikon D700 12.1 MegaPixel Enabled SLR Camera

Models:

XNiteNikonD700        UV+Visible+IR

XNiteNikonD700IR    High-Red (590nm or 665nm) and IR-Only (715nm or 830nm)

XNiteNikonD700HR   HR - Visible High Res / Hot Rod

 

Nikon D700 SLR Digital Camera (Camera Body)

We can modify this camera to be UV+Visible+IR,  High-Red (590nm or 665nm), IR-Only (715nm or 830nm) or Visible High Resolution (HR).  An UV+Visible+IR camera will see UV,  Infrared and Visible light after modification.

bulletIR+Visible+UV: Camera see everything the sensor is cable of seeing.  Camera will see some UV, the entire visible range and infrared from 715nm to 1200nm.
bulletHigh-Red

665nm: Camera will see from 665nm to 1200nm.  Red channel will see visible red and infrared.  Blue and green channels will only see infrared.

590nm: Camera will see from 590nm to 1200nm.  Red channel will see visible red and infrared.  Green channel will see come visible green and infrared.  Blue channel will only see infrared.

bulletIR-Only

715nm:  All channels  only see infrared.  The red channel is the most open to the IR and contains somewhat different information than the blue and green channels allowing for some creative color effects such as red-blue channel swapping to get deep blue skies.  A 715nm converted camera sees about the same amount of light as a stock camera so apertures and shutter are similar to a stock camera.  715nm is similar to a Hoya RM72 or Wratten 89B.

830nm:  All channels only see infrared.  Camera loses about 2 stops of exposure.  Once you equalize color levels, picture will be almost completely black and white.  The infrared effect is more intense at 830nm - skies are darker, clouds whiter and you see further through smoke and haze.  

bulletHR (High Resolution/ Hot Rod).  An HR camera has the Anti-Aliasing (Blur) filter removed and replaced with a thicker IR Cut Filter to keep the same focal plane.  A Visible HR camera will maximize the resolution and color depth of the camera at the expense of possible moire pattens.  Please see more about this conversion here.
