Commercially Modified IR Digicams

I came across this company in the US that specialises in commercial conversions of several digicams. Of course the original warranty will be void but they have successfully sold them with minimal complaints.
I checked the price of a Sony P200 and it comes to about S$ 1,500 plus DHL's 2 day shipping to your doorstep. Shipping charges to Singapore is about US$ 160.
What are your views on this and whether we can explore the possibility of mass order? Has anyone ordered any cameras from this company?

Regards,
Michael

I believe Tomcat has a modified Sony P200 that was purchase from them.

Me, I just did my own modifications.

Personally with that kind of money, i rather ask someone local to modify for me.

Thanks, I have been trying to check around for someone who is charges for work done to remove the IR blocking glass. Of course I am willing to forgo one of my Oly to try this.
Could you kindly advise if there are anyone who could do the mods? Thanks.
