Probably the most compact mirrorless interchangeable lens camera in the world!

Wheather you are getting into photography, back into photograpy or just upgrading your camera.

Do you fancy a regular camera that can also be used for Infrared photography? Read on.

Everything you need is included.

This camera is in pristine cosmetic condition and has a low shutter count of only 11,547 shots.

Firmware is up to date.


Key Features:

The camera body, lens barrel and screen show no obvious signs of use including the the camera screen which has absolutely no marks or blotches on it whatsoever which is a rarity on these cameras, and a new tempered glass screen protector has been applied to keep it this way

The highlights of this top of the range camera over and above the NEX-3 and NEX-5 series are the inclusion of a teriffic OLED viewfinder and two control selector wheel on the top of the camera body which makes it "more professional" and faster selections of modes and exposure controls are at your fingertips without having to scroll through a menu. A massive 16.1MP resolution gives you more scope when post editing and particularly when cropping your images without losing too much resolution.

This camera has been professionally converted to "Full Spectrum" which makes it rather fun for dabbling in infrared photography. To do this, the IR/UV blocking filter has been removed from the sensor allowing the camera to "see" light wavelengths that the human eye cannot. Because it has been converted, shooting in infrared is hand-held just as in regular photography unlike unconverted cameras which require long exposures as the camera can't see the IR properly.

I have included two essential filters, one of which is a very special absorption type IR/UV blocking filter for the front of the lens which replaces the filter removed from the sensor. This allows you to continue to use this camera as a "normal" camera, and swapping this filter for the supplied 720nm IR filter opens up a whole new world of fun.

So, everything that you will need is included. These filters are brand new.

The battery is good. (and Sony).

Low shutter count of 11,547. (Anything under 20,000 is considered low)

Firmware is up to date.

It works perfectly (as expected) and comes with everything seen in the images including a good quality "Lowepro" bag, 64gb SD card which can hold over 6000 full res JPEG images and a USB SD Card Reader.

All my pictures are of the actual items for sale, so what you see is what you get.

Ready to go straight out of the box.

You won't be disappointed!

Full Spectrum Care:

We focus on quality and longevity. Every camera we convert goes through a full diagnostic check - we test every component, and if something isn't right, we fix or replace it. So, the goal is to make sure it keeps working for years.

That level of care, combined with experience, is what keeps people coming back to us. We?re not just swapping out filters - we?re refurbishing and upgrading these cameras to a professional standard.

·        Every camera undergoes a full multi-point diagnostic check

·        Faulty components are repaired or replaced before conversion

·        We calibrate infinity focus, ensuring compatibility with any lens

·        Specialising also in high-end Sony models: A6000 series, A7 series

·        Each unit is tested and tuned for long-term reliability

·        Direct support from who performs the work - no outsourcing

In these Sony cameras, the sensor sits on shafts that are calibrated for each specific unit - not just the model, but each individual camera. We measure these shafts with 0.01 mm precision (10 microns) and adjust them so the camera can properly focus at infinity. It?s a process that requires experience.


12 Month Guarantee: (UK only) We guarantee our Full Spectrum converted cameras for a period of 12 months from the date of purchase against defects (accidental damage and abusive wear and tear excluded). This guarantee goes beyond our 30-day free return policy, and we will professionally repair (or replace at our discretion) your camera before returning it to you free of charge - less your cost of posting it to us.

If you think that you may want other filters for this camera I am offering the 590nm IR and Aerochrome IR filters (the two most popular after the 720nm filter) at a special price with £5 off each of them if purchased on this same listing with this camera. Postage will be combined and this saves me money. Please chose options at the top of the listing.  If you are an International buyer then this is especially valuable to you as you will not pay any extra for international shipping fees.

Can full spectrum cameras see ghosts?
There is a common misconception in the paranormal world that full spectrum cameras can capture ghosts: THEY CAN'T, and no known camera can.
Anyone telling you that they can are either misleading you or are mis-informed themselves - See this interesting VIDEO on the subject, and you need to watch all 26 minutes of it if you are not convinced.

If you are new to IR photography, you will need a photo editor in order to properly white balance and colour swap the red and blue channels for the desired colour balance effects and blue skies. Without editing you will not have good pictures. I can fully recommend "Raw Therapee" which is free and does everything. This is what I use myself. Once you get the hang of it you will find it easy to use, and there are plenty of tutorial videos online. Another editor that is commonly mentioned is "Gimp", but I have tried them both and much prefer "Raw Therapee" as I find it easier to use and seems to do everything. It seems to be "more complete" as Gimp doesn't seem to be able to process RAW images.

Always shoot in "RAW" for IR photography as this gives you much more leeway when editing. They can be saved as JPEG or TIFF afterwards.
