So you're saying that you wind up with a color sensor with an IR pass filter
over it instead of an IR block filter? Hmmm. I'm suspicious of that, because
the home page shows a beautiful, sharp image made at ISO200, 1/60sec f11. My
DiMage 7, which has no IR block filter, requires IR exposures more like
1/6sec wide open. Furthermore, my results look noisy and not very sharp, and
only the green channel is worth a damn, which doesn't yield the nice black
skies shown in his image.

I'd gladly pay the price of a Canon 300D plus $500 if I could get it with no
Bayer filter and no IR filter, just for straight B&W.
