Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-V1 is great for taking IR pictures
1 of 1 found this helpful Sony DSC-V1 was my first more serious digital camera when I got it a few years ago. It had plenty of advanced features fitted in a compact and durable body. Of course after a lot of usage my first V1 broke, but it had more than 2 and a half years lifespan and I took over 15000 photos with it. After that I've replaced it with a DSLR camera, but then again, remembering it cool Nightframing/Nightshot mode allowing the user to take pictures in completely dark environments I had to get a "new" V1 from eBay...
This time the main purpose of the camera is for taking infrared photos thanks to the Nightframing/Nightshot mode the camera has. Basically what this mode does is removing the IR filter of the camera thus making it sensitive to infrared light, because the main purpose of the filter is to block that type of invisible light (for the human eye). But if you are into taking infrared photos with DSC-V1, you'll have to consider buying the additional adapter for mounting 52mm filters to the camera, along with an a filter that passes only infrared light and blocks all the visible light. This is needed in order to take pictures only in IR light, because when the infrared filter of the camera is removed, the sensor gets both visible and the invisible IR light and the resulting pictures aren't very useful.
And although the V1 is a bit slow when taking pictures compared to the latest models of compact digital cameras, and has relatively small LCD screen it is still a great camera. Mainly because of the quality Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonar optics and the great 5 megapixel Sony CCD sensor. Maybe the only more serious drawback is the lack of access to most of the manual modes for taking pictures when you are using the Nightshot mode for taking IR photos. That problem also has a solution - by physically removing the IR filter from the lens, but this is quite hard to do for an average person. And it will of course make the camera unusable for taking normal photos... unless it is being used with an external 52mm filter that blocks IR light, replacing the functions of the removed internal one.
