Magpix IR-101 Midnight/Shot lets you take infrared photographs

Wanted to shoot your own artsy Kinect photographs or capture pictures of wildlife at night, but didn’t have access to any infrared-sensitive cameras? While infrared cameras aren’t exactly new technology, they’re not very common and are always a novelty to have. The Magpix IR-101 Midnight/Shot is no exception. Featuring a 5 megapixel image sensor, it takes images at 2,560 x 1,920 resolution and videos at 640 x 480. With an 8x digital zoom to help you get closer to your subject, it even has a 3″ LCD display for you to preview your shots before you take them. What makes this camera special though, is its ability to take photographs in total darkness. It contains an infra red sensor that lets you take monochromatic images when it’s pitch black outdoors or indoors. It stores pictures and videos onto an SD card (supports up to 8GB) and has a rechargeable battery that lasts up to 500 shots. The Magpix IR-101 Midnight/Shot is available now for $149.99.
