DISCONTINUED.  This model has been replaced by the Canon ELPH 300.

Canon PowerShot SD780-IS 12.1 MegaPixel Digital Camera

Model: 

XNiteCanonSD780-IS      UV+Visible+IR

Model: 

XNiteCanonSD780NDVI   3-Band Vegetation Stress Remote Sensing Camera

We can convert your Canon PowerShot SD780IS for $175 for UV+IR+Visible + return S&H ($20 UPS ground insured domestic USA).  Turn around is usually 1 or 2 days from receipt.

For the UV+Visible+IR model, we add a 25mm filter ring to the front nose of the camera so that you can attach filters.  Please be aware that you should be gentle when adding or removing filters because the stock lens nose cap to which the filter ring is added is not especially strong. If the cap comes off, you can snap it back in place by turning the camera on, placing the nose cap at 11:00, and giving a gentle twist to 12:00 to lock the cap in place.

25mm Filters are available here.
