I was reading through the Latest test from DPReview, a site i check more often then it updates.
They showed the with and without UV/IR (didn't say IR in my title i know).
 
I think it's interesting to see a camera whos hot mirror fails to filter out IR ( and apparently UV) light.... and all the manufacturer does is give you a free filter.
DPreview discussed it before - Article on fixes (old) - M8 Review |

Depends how you look at it, do you believe the low-pass filter degrades resolution/quality or that an external filter does a better/worse job.
There are times were I wish I could remove my low-pass filter. |

Umm, D200 i believe you can. Lifepixel.com should have a glass replacement for your hot mirror. I didnt look in particular though. |

I don't think anyone on DPC has to worry about that problem :p
It's a shame that the only two digital rangefinders have problems - the R-D1 isn't reliable at all, there's been a lot of reports of them randomly failing and Epson isn't repairing the electronics on them, so when their stash of replacements runs out the customers are screwed. The rangefinder mechanism is sub-par too. Of course the M8 is great and all... if you have 5 grand and are willing to give up a couple stops of light if you want accurate colors on black fabrics.
SLR's really aren't the most effective design for all uses, we seriously need some more compact cameras that are capable of producing good IQ. Even the smallest SLR is pretty big with a lens attached, and they have ridiculously bad viewfinders so they're far from enjoyable to use, especially in low light. |
