Hello. I’m looking to convert to full spectrum new full frame or crop sensor mirrorless camera with ~20Mp resolution.
My main requirement mirrorless camera is high native ISO and enhanced sensitivity in UV/VIS/IR spectrum (or even reaching SWIR) after full spectrum conversion but features in newer models like IBIS, phase focusing, high native ISO. 4K recording, better viewfinder, high refresh rate, pixel shift (or other way to boost static object resolution) is also desirable.
I liked previously owned Sony A7s camera which had incredible sensitivity and 409600 native ISO which after FS conversion basically turned into night vision device, videos would look great. Unfortunatelly A7s doesn’t have pixel shift technology to increase resolution of static object which I need for art work documentation/analysis while already ridiculous resolution camera’s utilize this technology, what a shame. I will also need a high quality lens that is fast and sharp both in IR and visible. So that’s why I’m now leaning toward choosing different brand camera such as Canon and Nikon F mount seems to have bigger selection of lens than Sony in terms low infrared hotspot.
Do Z mount camera to F mount lens adapters work well?
Is there new sensor technology being used in mirrorless camera’s? Camera sensors unfortunately did not change really much. Major shift was use of backlit CMOS sensors which are better f-stop in noise reduction and I read they are also more sensitive especially to UV but later camera sensor are also using coatings which may block UV/IR. Sure there are small improvements like dual gain pixels, stacked or global shutter sensors but these novelties have no effect on spectral sensitivity?
Nikon is developing QIS sensor technology. Quantum dot three layer sensor are also in development. Even more amazing is graphene-enhanced CMOS claimed to have x1000 more sensitivity. High sensitivity is really needed to reduce pixel and camera/lens size/weight. Metalens are also very interesting as alternative to bulky, heavy and expensive lens.
Are there any cameras that use different color filter mosaics with better IR/UV transmission such as RGBW? It would be great to have pixels more sensitive to UV and IR to get more interesting artistic color effects.
