The isDS seems to have just enough IR blocking to leave IR sensitivity mostly just in the red channel. I get my best results using 1/60th at f5.6 with the ISO set to 800. When I meet that rich attractive widow who will cherish me, I'll be able to have an M8 for infrared shots. ;-) Until then, I'll have to keep squinting through the almost black R72 through the isDS viewfinder.
