60Da

[grafxman]

Does anyone have one? Have you used it for night time wildlife photography or videography? Do you use an IR illuminator? Any samples online?

Wrong friendo it does exist. The 60Da was made with the intention for it to be used for astronomy and is designed to bring out the more desired colors with that type of photography. Go to Canon's site and read all about it

I bow my head in shame, I never heard of this camera, thanks for correcting me.

 

[Dao]

Yes, it exists and was the replacement of the EOS 20Da.

 

[Juga]

No shame.

 

[goodguy]

No shame.

Thanks :blushing:

Interesting if there will be a 70Da

 

[Gavjenks]

I don't get it.

Why not just sell a camera without ANY infrared filter, and then sell lens thread infrared filters sensitive to the hydrogen bands or whatever this one has?

Then you could market to both IR photographers as a non-hacked-apart option, as well as to astrophotographers

OK folks. Allow me to elaborate. Here's what I did many years ago with a Sony DV tape camcorder with a Sony IR illuminator on it:

I'm just trying to find a DSLR that can do the same thing only with better quality.
