Sorry, I should have explained more fully - I was thinking that they might be worth trying without going to the expense of having a 'decent' camera converted which then needs additional expense for the filter to bring it back to 'normal'. 'Enough is as good as a feast,' so they say, and IR shots can look dramatic, but you wouldn't want to churn out a 'feast' of hundreds of them!

The D30 and D60 probably only give a similar effect to Don's D100 (Nikon's D70 is also good according to last week's 'Amateur Photographer') but you can often pick up a 'well used' example very cheaply, though you have to be aware that EF-S lenses are incompatible with these earlier models.
