In a word, the FLIR E30 is impressive! From the moment you pick the unit up you can’t help but be impressed. The more I use the camera, the more I like it. In this increasingly competitive market it’s tempting for manufacturers to cut corners to keep costs down and make cameras more appealing to the consumer. As a result there has recently been a flood of low cost... Read More »
I’ve lost a lot of my life to answering questions about Image Fusion, Image blending, Visual Rendering and Multi Spectral Imaging.

The Flir i7 is the top of the range model in Flir’s new entry level “i” series thermal imaging infrared cameras. As such it supports the larger sized 120x120 which provides a respectable 14,400 pixels of resolution.

The image is far superior to that of the fledgling models and you might actually consider this camera as a serious contender in the entry level infrared camera market. Being part of a trio, it is virtually impossible to consider this camera in isolation, and as such the review reads more as a compare between the 3 models in the series. Read More »
