Will they warranty the work?
I phoned Canon a while back and spoke to their camera tech and asked if he could replace the senser filter with a Baader filter that I would supply. Then the Canon warranty should still apply...

He said "Filter? Why don't you just screw it off the lens and change it yourself?"

I said, no, the in-built UV/IR blocking filter over the sensor.

He said "What are you talking about?"

I don't blame them, they are not trained to do mods like this.
If they had to replace other parts within the camera they can but taking apart the sensor filter and replacing it with a third party filter is not what they are trained to do.

This sort of mod is only considered by people who are into astro imaging.

No Dougie, we're non-bloomin.
Bloomin is usually associated with the dedicated CCD crowd.
