a £1000 camera becomes a £5000 camera. Theres a link in there where you can buy the camera from a UK supplier with many extras.
Check before purchase that you can still adapt the new firmware as when I bought mine I bought it from Germany as they had just apparently locked the new firmware down. Turned out to be rubbish as Business sense said not to Flir methinks. They must have sold a lot of these off the back of the adaptations.
Great info on thermographic analysis on that thread and from FLIR website.
which I thought was the dogs. On the first house I analysed it showed where the pipes ran under the floor everywhere. On the next where it would have been really useful I found that it didn't show much of the pipe runs, even on the boxing in where they obviously run. I was going to use it to show people that they needed a powerflush as their radiators had a large temperature differential in different areas but I'm not so convinced now.
Copper also has a very different emmisivity depending on how shiny it is which affects readings massively. Solution is to stick white electrical tape on the pipe and read that or use differential clamps on the fga
Great fun when you first get it tho. Kids, animals, thermal performance of the house, damp, The thread Google

is a mine of information on everything to do with these cameras. Pretty amazing technology.
