Gary,

Thanks for the quick response.

Seems to back up the reports posted in the Infrared FAQ. Achieving an 
image is possible using the Coolpix 990 and a near opaque infrared 
filter but the results are poor compared to those possible with the 
Coolpix 950.

Some examples of Coolpix 950 infrared work are in the CoCam Gallery 
kindly contributed by Carl Schofield.

So, look for a nicely discounted Coolpix 950 if you want to travel 
the Nikon route for digital infrared photography :-)
