RE: IR with digital still cameras

["Rand Evan Molnar" <randevan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I've gotten great results with my Olympus C2020 using #87, #87c, #89b. Very
impressive. Also had some interesting results with the #18a, which transmits
both UV and IR.
Why do you say "except for the 3.3Mpix"? Have you run some comparisons?
