Needless to say it's not the traditional use for a tech camera. But some of my favorite portraits were done on 8x10 polaroid, so the "traditional" use of a camera need not be it's only use.
Case in point: I've used a tech cam with an infrared back to shoot a football game.
It very much limited the type of shots I could take, and dropped my "keeper" rate through the floor. But it was fun. Then again, someone else may have hated every second of it; depends on if you embrace full-manual zen-guessing and the challenge of using something for other than its intended purpose or if you hate all of that.

I think this is one of those situations where working with a dealer, or friend, or forum member, to try before you buy. You may find you love it. Or you may find it was a terrible idea. You should be able to figure out within a couple hours of shooting.
We'd be glad to have you play with a couple tech cameras in our studio in Midtown Manhattan.
