Fujifilm has unveiled its first dedicated infrared X-series camera, the X-T1 IR. While the new model is nearly identical to the Fujifilm X-T1, it can also 'see' light from the ultraviolet (UV), visible and infrared (IR) portions of the light spectrum (approximately 380-1,000nm).
Fujifilm says the infrared capabilities of the camera make it well suited to uses in crime scene investigation, healthcare diagnostics, and scientific applications. No doubt it will also appeal to creative photographers interested in capturing the kind of infrared effects that were once only available with infrared film and digital camera that had been specially converted.
The 16.3-megapixel camera is compatible with the full range of X-series lenses. It will be available in America for US$1699.95 from October. It is not known if the camera will be sold in Australia.
