I don't think you will spend lots, I converted my old camera, a Panasonic P&S, learning from a gentleman here. It works great for me, thank him for his advice! I may convert my other M4/3, but will let some company do it for me because after removing the 'Hot mirror'from the sensor, it must replace it with a optical clear glass to protect the sensor which is exposed in the air all the time without the reflecting mirror as a DSLR.
The general price for converting is around $250 or more.


Thanks for the help. Who did your conversion if I may ask?

I did it my self after reading several post from this person UHH user named 'dpullum', he even show how it was done with video. He's a very kind and helpful hogger.
I only spent 20 min. to finish, may be it was much easier with P&S than DSLR. You may send 'dpullum' a PM I believe he will eager to help you.
For my case, I removed several tiny screws and opened the back of camera, where where I could see the sensor, then I removed the sensor by loosen some hold down screws, when the sensor removed I saw a yellowish clear glass on top "It's so called hot mirror' usually it should be replace with a optical clear glass, but since the camera is concealed after closing up again, dust is not a problem. That's my experience.
