Infrared Gear Samsung NX for Infrared Conversion

[kamicota]

Hi all

Have decided that my next Infrared Camera will be a Samsung NX

Have a quote of the NX100 - but am also looking at the NX5, NX10, NX11, and the NX200

Price is a BIG factor and would love a viewfinder if that is possible

Think the NX200 may be out of my price range but would LOVE to hear any comments with respect to any or all these NX series cameras.

Please feel free to comment no matter what and their suitability for IR conversion

Cheers for Years
Colin

Kamicota, I have a NX200 for sale on Amazon at a reasonable price. It is barely used. I liked it a lot but it got upstaged for me by the XP1 and the NEX7. Can't keep all the cameras.

Thanks Country Parson

Appreciate the offer - although would have to mail it from Canada to Kolarivision to have it converted and that would be an extra $250 or so plus the two way postage around another $70 so probably would be way out of my price range

Just for information - the offer I had for the NX100 converted IR was US$550 + one way shipping so you can see what we are up against.

Although the price would be welcomed for NX200

Cheers for years

Hi again

Ilija of KolariVision just did his FIRST NX100 Conversion - found it had 2 IR Block Filters - removes both obtaining faster shutter speeds
