I loved its limited swivel screen (later models got less limited, which would have been nice), for the reason mentioned (also, I like candid people photos, which the swivel is great for) and its ("Super-") macro mode is great (with the extended DoF of a small sensor making garden macros carry much detail, as yours show).
I did try some IR with it, but was not impressed with the results. It has not the sensitivity to IR as yours. Still, perhaps I gave up too early. I should use its macro again - I got some nice, detailed, sharp garden shots from that, thanks to its close-focussing and swivel screen.

fuji have a dedicated (or did have) IR camera.
I've recently purchased a couple filters to give IR a trial - when I get some sunshine !!!!
Do you know why your results were not "impressive" Marc; there are a reasonable number of good photos using filters, many tutorials hint at setting the white balance to show green as white (in full sunshine) - and being patient .....
