I remember reading a while ago you could do this with the old Sony Handicams that have nightvision. I think you need the nighvision mode, a UV filter (or some other filter) and the extra infrared light.

How can you honestly believe that they come up with these challenges on the fly? Think of all the logistics involved in building these sets. They are all in remote locations, so it's not like you can truck the materials in, they have to come in by boat probably. Each one will have to be designed by a team of engineers, play tested a few times to iron out the kinks, determine where the best camera placement will be, and I can't imagine what else. I wouldn't be surprised if some of these sets took as long as 4 weeks to get ready. Yeah, I know some of them are easy, like the mental ones, those might be done a in a day or two, but the physical ones are extremely complex, and will take a lot of time in design, construction, and test. To think they can just throw one up within 3 days to maintain or change a story line isn't credible.

As cdollaz said, they have probably hundreds of ideas and the resources to build anything they need. They use the one that will be best for the time. The show is good because they manipulate it. They change things as they go and get the best out of the contestants. This is evident by Probst's actions last night. He basically talked Janu into quiting.
