I have a pile of Nikon CoolPix 950 (1999) mostly cheap from eBay, along with tele, wide, 183° fisheye lenses, and IR filters. It started with a pro photo friend who had upgraded and I went for the complete set.

1600x1200 pixels is plenty! The CMYG CCD matrix gives incredible fidelity of green. With the IR bandpass filters, I get saturated two-tone IR: Leaves reflect IR that passes the C+G filters and water transmits IR that passes the M+Y filters, so I get foliage in ice cyan and water in wine red colour.

It can see your eyes through your sunglasses, but not through your cornea.

It's a joyful thing from end to end!
