I thought I was aware of all the services that offer conversion to IR, but here's another one, provided by a Shutterbug reader.

<<An Australian who performs a similar service, and even with shipping to the other side of the globe his prices are a little better.

Also, the Aussie uses solid glass filters in his c onversion, while irdigital.net (according to the
Aussie) uses a gel filter. This makes sense, since
when I had my D30 converted the instructions that came
back with the body said that the sensor could not be
cleaned with any contact method; only an air bulb
could be used. A normal cleaning brush would damage
the sensor.

Now, I am going to have the guy in Australia convert my
G3 to IR-only.>>>

NOTE: I cannot vouch for the services offered by this or ANY other company.

Peter,

Life Pixel Infrared Conversion in Lynnwood, Washington at www.lifepixel.com may offer a better IR conversion service. They convert Canon and Nikon P&S and dSLR's for $200 to $350 using high quality optical glass IR filters to replace the hot mirror filter. They return to you the original hot mirror filter and when you save it, you can later undo the conversion for half of the original conversion price!
