Nikon D90 SLR Digital Camera (Camera Body)

 

 

The Nikon D90 is a prosumer digital SLR camera.  Because of the nature of the IR enabling modification, we do not recommend this camera to anyone who does not fully understand the implications of the modification.  This camera offers great IR sensitivity, dynamic range and low noise. 

We can modify this camera to be IR+Visible+UV,  IR-Only and High Resolution (HR) . An IR+Visible+UV camera will see both Infrared, Ultraviolet and Visible light after modification.  An IR-Only camera will only see IR from 715nm through 1200nm.  The IR-Only camera has an internal 715nm IR filter with an antiflection coating.  The 715nm filter performs similarly to the Hoya RM72 and Wratten 89B.

Please note that the anti-dust system is disabled on our conversions.  Live View will work correctly.

Modification will void your warranty.

We can modify your D90 for $450 + return S&H ($20 UPS ground insured domestic USA).  Turn around is 1 or 2 days from receipt.  We only need the camera and charged battery for testing along with a cover letter specifying the conversion type.
