Discontinued, see our new camera here.
Comes in manufacturer refurbished condition with original accessories, has been taken out of the box to convert to infrared, will be black color.
The ZS25 allows vivid color infrared pictures to be captured with ease. This is an upgrade from our previous bestsellers, the ZS6, ZS8, and ZS19. This is camera features an incredible Leica lens, that goes to 24mm for landscape shots, and has a 20x optical zoom. 24mm is one of the widest lenses for a compact camera on the market. This camera also features a powerful feature set, including full manual controls.
The camera focuses great, even on close shots. Even though it is a point and shoot, this little camera takes amazing IR pictures. With a little postwork performed, the camera can be used for great false color. Black and white IR photos can also be achieved directly in camera. The camera also offers a wide selection of color choices to choose from.
With 16.1 MP this camera lets you take detailed pictures and allows for large prints. The Leica lens is very versatile, with a 24mm wide angle for landscapes to a 20x maximum zoom making composition easy. With a large 3 inch Live view LCD composing images directly in IR is very easy! Optical image stabilization and HD videos at 60FPS add to the list of great features in this camera.
With powerful white balance, vivid color infrared pictures are able to be captured with ease. The camera comes with a great set of creative features, like 3D shooting, miniature effect, in camera HDR, and shooting stills at up to 10FPS.

Warranty
All of our conversions and converted or modified cameras come with a 1 year warranty for post-conversion malfunctions and electronic issues related to the conversion service.
This warranty does not include wear and tear repairs such as, but not limited to; shutter failure. Warranty does not cover user-caused damage, or other issues unrelated to our conversion services or camera modifications.
For more comprehensive coverage we highly recommend our Extend warranty, which also covers accidental damage.
Processing Time
Our standard turnaround time for camera conversions is 2 weeks on average for most models. This is only an estimate and not a guarantee. Our standard turnaround time may occasionally exceed 2 weeks during our busy season (April-August) or take less than 2 weeks in our off-season (September-March).
We also offer 5-day and 1-2 day rush processing options on our camera conversions for an additional fee. Our rush services allow us to coordinate the logistics of your conversion ahead of time to meet your deadlines to the best of our ability. Our rush processing time does not include shipping times.
We do our best to accommodate each and every one of our customers year-round.
If ordering one of our pre-converted cameras, keep in mind that they are made to order and are not eligible for rush processing. Please allow at least 2 weeks before your camera ships out to you. Plan for trips and assignments accordingly!
Any time frames that we provide, including shipping time, turnaround time, and rush processing times, are only estimates and are subject to availability. We make no guarantees on service time or shipping times.
AR Coating
What is the AR coating and what does it do? The AR coating option adds an IR centered anti-reflective coating onto the IR filter we install when we perform an infrared conversion. It reduces hotspot artifacts that some lenses are prone to, and can reduce other stray reflections. On our full spectrum conversions we apply a broadband AR coating that covers the UV, visible, and IR ranges. The coating does not reduce optical performance in any way and is highly recommended.
Background:
Uncoated glass has a reflection of around 4-5% at all wavelengths, and we found that this reflection off the sensor filter was bouncing off the glass and reflecting back from the lens housing and aperture blades to cause IR hotspots. We developed this anti-reflective coating that is centered around the IR wavelengths that cause hotspots, and reduced the 5% reflection down to <0.5%
Conversion AR Coating
When applied to our internal conversion filters, we find that hotspots are significantly reduced during infrared photography. Below is a sample from a Nikon 50mm 1.8 which has a strong hotspot at small apertures. Independent tests also available from Mark Hilliard here and Edd Noble here.
