Digital Cameras, well some
of them, are good for Infrared Photography.
The sensors in digicams are naturally sensitive way into the IR typically 900nm or 1000nm. But, the camera manuactureres have to cut everything out above about 720nm else the pictures won't look right. They use a 'cut' filter.
But some cameras don't have very efficient cut filters, including my favorite for Digital IR - the Olympus Camedia C2020Z. Get one from eBay, get a Hoya R72 filter, and off you go! It is sufficiently sensitive to IR that you can handhold. Choose B+W or false color.
Another camera with good IR is the Canon G2
