The SPHERE (Spectro-Polarimetric High-contrast Exoplanet Research) planet finder instrument for ESO's VLT telescope, scheduled for first light in 2011, aims to detect giant extra-solar planets in the vicinity of bright stars by the aid of an extreme-AO turbulence compensation system and to characterize the objects found through spectroscopic and polarimetric observations. Dual imaging observations within the Y, J, H and Ks atmospheric windows (~0.95 - 2.32μm) will be done by the aid of the IRDIS cryogenic camera. We describe briefly the science goals of IRDIS and present its system architecture. Current status of the instrument design is presented, and expected performance is described in terms of end-to-end simulations.
