Everything about the camera is immaculate overall, showing virtually no signs of use including the camera screen. The screen is crystal clear with no scratches, blotches or marks at all, and a new tempered glass screen protector has been applied to keep it this way.
This camera replaced the NEX-6, and the highlights of this top of the range camera are the inclusion of a terrific OLED viewfinder, a stunning 24MP sensor and a mode control selector wheel on the top of the camera body which makes it "more professional". WI-FI capability is also a special feature of this model allowing for instant connection to other devices without the need for cables.
This
camera has been professionally converted to "Full Spectrum" which makes
it rather fun for dabbling in infrared photography. To do this, the
IR/UV blocking filter has been removed from the sensor allowing the
camera to "see" light wavelengths that the human eye cannot. Because it
has been converted, shooting in infrared is hand-held just as in regular
photography unlike unconverted cameras which require long exposures as
the camera can't see the IR properly.
I
have included two essential filters, one of which is a very special absorption type IR/UV blocking filter for the front of the lens which replaces the filter removed from
the sensor. This allows you to continue to use this camera as a "normal"
camera, and swapping this filter for the supplied 720nm IR filter opens
up a whole new world of fun.
So, everything that you will need is included. These filters are brand new.
The battery is good. (and Sony).
Very low shutter count of 7,791. (Anything under 10,000 is considered very low)
Firmware is up to date.
It works perfectly (as expected) and comes with everything seen in the images including a complimentary bag, 32gb SD card which can hold over 3000 full res JPEG images and a USB SD Card Reader.
All my pictures are of the actual items for sale, so what you see is what you get.
Ready to go straight out of the box.
You won't be disappointed!
Condition Meanings: Pristine - No obvious signs of use, as new.
Full Spectrum Care:
We focus on quality and longevity. Every camera we convert goes through a full diagnostic check - we test every component, and if something isn't right, we fix or replace it. So, the goal is to make sure it keeps working for years.
That level of care, combined with experience, is what keeps people coming back to us. We're not just swapping out filters - we're refurbishing and upgrading these cameras to a professional standard.
· Every camera undergoes a full multi-point diagnostic check
· Faulty components are repaired or replaced before conversion
· We calibrate infinity focus, ensuring compatibility with any lens
· Specialising also in high-end Sony models: A6000 series, A7 series
· Each unit is tested and tuned for long-term reliability
· Direct support from who performs the work - no outsourcing
In these Sony cameras, the sensor sits on shafts that are calibrated for each specific unit - not just the model, but each individual camera. We measure these shafts with 0.01mm precision (10 microns) and adjust then so the camera can properly focus at infinity. It's a process that requires experience.
For a more in-depth view of what we actually do, please see our articles on "Inside the Full Spectrum Conversion Process" and "Shimming for Perfect Infinity Autofocus".
If you think that you may want other filters for this camera I am offering the 590nm IR and Aerochrome IR filters (the two most popular after the 720nm filter) at a special price with £5 off each of them if purchased on this same listing with this camera. Postage will be combined and this saves me money. Please chose options at the top of the listing. If you are an International buyer then this is especially valuable to you as you will not pay any extra for international shipping fees. Please look at my other items for sale to see the full descriptions as I specialise in these Sony Alpha cameras.

Questions & Answers:
Q: Can I still clean the sensor as I normally would on your Full Spectrum cameras?
A: Absolutely you can, the sensor is not "naked". Under the filter that has been removed from the sensor remains a very hard permanent factory fitted glass which protects the sensor.
Q: Will the camera still focus properly at infinity after a conversion?
A: In these Sony cameras the sensor sits on shafts that are calibrated for each specific unit, not just the model, but each individual camera. We measure these shafts with 0.01 mm precision (10 microns) and adjust them so the camera can properly focus at infinity with any lens. It's a process that requires experience!
The other option would be to replace the removed filter stack with material of equivalent thickness, but this is not how we do it! This involves using optical glass or performing a permanent fixed-wavelength conversion (e.g., for 720nm or similar). It's a tricky method, and image quality can suffer depending on the quality of the replacement glass.
