Hi.
I guess it is exactly this piece of glass that is the problem, isn't it:

Well, here is what I did:
I searched the bay for a similar camera, you can see it as number 5 in the row. It is only a still camerabody that is even more useless then any SD video body as e.g. the 950 would be. So you should get it for much less than the glass with a real camcorder or camera body "around" it.
In my case, I payed 20€ for a DKC 5000, that looks very similar to a DXC 950 (pic no.4, where I "parked" the glass before I got the 5000). Of course that attempt does not need to work (no offer or stupid offerer with stupid ideas about what a SD 4:3 camera still is worth) but it can work.
Fact is the glass does fit on my 1/2" Camera (
http://www.flickr.com/photos/1090701...2435/lightbox/ and it also works perfect. I'm sure they used the same stuff for still and video cams - at least with the 1/2" DXCs and the DKCs, as in these days even still cams did not have more pixels than a videocamera had.
So I guess even the lowpass characteristic (..if they did put that on the IR- filter at all) was the same.
I hope you find one..
Best, Stefan
