Kev, ha ha, some of my best mates on IIS are CCD people; all I am suggesting is that your Canon is more capable than you might think. I have nothing against CCD users, but it's not for me. I don't have the time to do mono CCD imaging and frankly not really rapt about the whole processing thing. If I wanted to go Mono I could do the debayer mod on my Canon first to get the full 12 megapixels in mono but its too much work (not the mod the integration and processing).There is a photo shop in Sydney that is doing the full spectrum mod for $150 plus shipping, I will find the name and PM it to you, or you can do it yourself using Gary Honis's excellent illustrated instructions and that cost nothing. I have done two and its not hard if you write down each step as you go and attach any screws removed for each step to a run sheet.
I believe there is an IIS member also offering a mod service. There are numerous US and UK businesses that mod Canons. JTW being one.
There is a very good Canon Cold Finger mod thread here on IIS which was started by RCheshire. That's a very low cost mod, just need a TEC, some copper, a temperature controller and that's going to cost you less than $100 in parts, and it's fun. However, if your going to mod you DSLR you need to have some confidence in your ability, it's not hard to do actually.
Now I'll let the CCD guys have a go.
