Flir had a BCAM for $3900.
May be gone by now. Check with John McKenna, he posted it and I got the scoop from flir. Next level is $15k on sale.

I am looking at the Flir B200. It is a newer cam with better sensitivity and resolution. It is also upgradeable so that as your business grows and avenues open into other areas of thermography, the camera can be upgraded to add new features. Cost more to start, but it is better in the long run in my opinion.

They offered to give me $ 500. off the cost of a $ 2,000 course which I never intended to take because there are better ones available, but I already knew they had offered that deal to may others. It's a great camera, but their customer relations suck. I would recommend the B-Cam SD to anyone, but I would suggest buying it through Pro-Lab or Professional Equipment or someone like that.

Can any one please explain to me why colleagues suddenly feel the urge to buy expensive thermal cameras to carry out "visual" home inspections in a depressed real estate market?

What depressed real estate market? Things are still pretty good around here, maybe not as much sales as the last 3 years but houses are still moving reasonably well.

In very rough numbers in North America this past year, the number of home inspectors decreased by about 35% and the number of sales decreased by about 25% so actually there should be more real estate inspections per inspector.
What you are going to see is fewer inspectors (InterNACHI members if I have anything to do with it) doing more inspections... industry consolidation. Nick Gromicko, CMI Founder World's biggest, best inspection association "Planet InterNACHI... resistance is futile" |

Nick, that is taking the U.S. housing market into the assesment, if you look at strictly the Canadian market it has not slowed anywhere near the numbers that the U.S. experienced.

Canadian's were not as stupid as Americans in either taking or making loans.
