Comparing sensors in full spectrum.

Comparing sensors in full spectrum.

Cameras sensors can react differently to IR light once they are converted to full spectrum. I don't really know to which extent though...

Here is a comparison of the Sony f828 (the camera that can be converted to full spectrum with just a magnet) and the Canon 1200D, in full spectrum with no filter. In this particular case the difference appears to be drastic.

The pictures were white balanced and saturated from the RAW files in Lightroom.

The two cameras are pretty far apart as we can see from these pictures. They are also pretty far apart in terms of technology : the first is an 18Mpx CMOS and the second is a 20 years old 8Mpx CCD one of a kind RGBE sensor.

Sony camera are known to not perform as good as Canon with the IRchrome filter. The images above indeed show that this Canon camera has a predisposition to record IR in the red channel compared to the Sony. Now do more recent Sony cameras produce blue SOOC like this one does ? I don't know... Maybe the sony users here can help me from their experience.
