Will this work with the Sony "Nightshot" cameras? I can't find any info about their wavelength sensitivity.

There are 2 differant wavelengths used for ir elliminated night vision on cameras (850 nM & 940 nM) the former is the most comon, and results in a slightly visible red glow, the latter is newer, and provides an illumination the is not visible to thehuman eye. Whether a camera works with one, the other, or both has to do with the bypas filter included in the camera. The only way to get an accurate answer is to email your camera,s manufaxturer and ask them if the 950nM wavelenth of this illuminator will work? Sorry, but without the key bit of technical data. Any answer is speculation Jim

I don't know about the Sony cam,but the Super Circuits Pc338 will work well ($150).Replace the lens for more zoom. This is the best camera for the money.

I have a Nikon D5300 with a AF-S 18-300 DX. Works great with moderate lighting and above. AF still works and is a great cost effective way to add extra reach. It softens the picture a little bit with large prints. So far it's been a great little gadget.

Check the spec's properly at the sony site. I bought this for my NEX7 because it was the one suggested in the Amazon description. I still have it because I through out the packaging so its useless to me. Check at Sony.com to make sure its compatible.

I bought two also and the both work fine. The second one is with a friend so I haven't tested whether or not they operate on the same frequency. If that is the case, one photographer may trigger the camera of the other, etc. Make sure you have your camera set to deal with a remote triggering device and it should work fine. At least mine did with a Nikon D800.

It should work. To be honest this camera works better than the night owl cameras I had. Very clear n the night vision is out standing.

Use a tripod and have multiple batteries it should work fine. There will be a slight color distortion is shot during the day, but at night as with all full spectrum cameras you really need good lights to use with it.

Mr Fog. Going through the menu list of the DCS-SR, I'm not seeing that the "nightshot" is a feature that the Camera has in the shooting set category. So I think you're asking making movie,or taking picture in total darkness. The Camera has his own led video light,but it does not cover a large area in total darkness, so i bought a Sony battery Video light to connect on the camera,specialy for DCR-SR68. If you have the book which came with the camera when you bought it, you will find all the accessories for the DCR-SR68. hope i've been helpful Regards

I have a Sony NEX 5N and the cameras focus peaking does not appear on the monitor. I would post that question on a Blackmagic forum.

I couldn't find any specs for the camera but I have some IR LEDs so I did a test and they all were detectable by the camera. The deepest IR LED used was 940 nM.

It only works with the Sony 'G' Lenses that are painted White. I don't remember the exact lenses, but I returned my 2.0 Teleconverter and my 1.4 Teleconverter because they fit the camera, but not the lenses.

I am pretty sure its going to work if you connect with bnc connecters. I have Qsee dvr which is not a problem. about the camera its a very good one. I can see 150 feet in color with street light clearly. hope this helps. thank you.

I have had pretty good luck with night shots, however it only works if there's a little light to work with. I have put my camera in an area where there's a lot of over growth and No moon light and my pictures are also dark.If the area is open and there's some light to work with its pretty good in my opinion.

It works with my Sony HDR-CX260V. Some of the functions like search or focus require the camera to be in the appropriate mode - not a problem for me; I just wanted the shooting controls, which work perfectly. And, BTW, the adapter cable came with the unit and also works perfectly.

It worked on my Canon 60D. However, the exposures were not consistent. I sometimes touched the channel buttons and then had to reset. I ended up returning them and getting the Pocket Wizard Flex TT5, Mini & AC3. They gave me more flexibilty and will connect with different strobes. They also can be controlled with the Sekonic 478DR meter.

If you aren't using the NiteShot mode, it is very poor in low light. Extremely grainy and nigh unviewable. NightShot works brilliantly, though.

Thanx Bryce. Does it have night vision or is it compatible with it? And if the latter then what is the best setup to achieve it?

If your camera's IR lights are in the 850nm wave length range it will work... but you'll have to research that. You'll still have to disable the camera's internal IR's... opening up the dome and/or camera to unplug them, may void your warranty however.
