DISCONTINUED. This camera has been replaced by the SX50
available here.
Modified Canon PowerShot SX20-IS 12.1 MegaPixel Camera
Models:
XNiteCanonSX20 UV+Visible+IR
XNiteCanonSX20IR IR-Only
Our modified Canon PowerShot SX20-IS can see from about 340nm to 1100nm.
The Canon SX20 does not have a very good filter ring lens
mount. For the UV+Visible+IR cameras, e add a stepping metal stepping ring
adapter to the lens so that you can mount 58mm filters. Because of this,
the stock lens cover does not fit. We include a new 58mm lens cap.
The UV+Visible+IR camera uses 58mm filters which are available
here. Note, you should use the XNiteCC1 filter to block infrared light
when you want to take a normal picture. For infrared pictures, you have
many options. If you are just starting, we recommend at least one high cut
filter (like a 1000nm or XDP) and one low cut filter (like a 715nm) because they
have very different looks.
Because the camera uses an Electonic Viewfinder (EVF), all the
focusing is done through the image sensor and you will see the UV, visible or
infrared image before you take the picture.
We can convert your PowerShot SX20-IS for $275 for UV+IR+Visible and
$375 for IR-Only + return S&H ($20
UPS ground insured domestic USA). Turn around is usually 1 or 2 days from
receipt.
This camera uses 58mm Filters
available Here. For normal photographs, you should order an XNiteCC1
filter. For UV photographs, you can use our XNite330 or XNiteUVR. We
recommend stacking our XNiteBP1 filter to block the small infrared transmission
bump that all UV filters have.
