What camera and brand? FLIR B2 And BX320

Why that brand? Built like a brick house

What features do like? Point and click. No Fusion or other things to get in the way. Best camera for the money.

FLIR.

I just got a Canon SX10IS as an anniversary gift. It's not a crawlspace camera but I like the zoom and wide angle capabilities. Still learning all the features.

I would definitely buy a Flir B360 or B400, wait a minute, I already have one!!

Go with the best.......go with Flir for IR Cameras and with ITC for training.

...with the high temp option. It has the same features as Jeffrey's T400.

I enjoy mine.

But, it really does matter what you're going to use it for. Learn that first with some classes and then decide.
