    Was going to go through some rentals and winterize them... I thoght that a thermal camera would be fun to have... :).

    Web search shows these things are $12,000 or so?!

    I seem to recall that a sony camcorder used to have this feature 5 years ago or so, but it got pulled because teens were using it to "see through" folks clothes :).

    Is there something similar, for $500 or so???

    the Sony video camera that you are referring to had 'night vision', not thermal capabilities.

    I saw a thermal camera advertised in an electronics catalogue with the headline "Cheapest thermal camera on the market" for 3999€, I guess that's about the bottom...
