TOPIC: P640 B400

lol, well thats part of it as well keep the taxman at bay.
I do alot of diagnostics and building investigation, more so then residential inspection, and this really is the way for me atleast to go.
I know the p series is 8 times better then the 400 and 16 - 22 times better then a bcam, b50 , b60 or anything under the 180 x 180 mark.
i guess im nervous as I will be basiclly the only one so far in this leauge then others I know that I will basiclly be leaving them behind and be at a level that I think I will be finding myself in a new playing field alone..  if that sounds right,
I am aquiring a door as well, couldnt refuse the price so I am gonna have to figure out how to incorporate this into the mix along the way

but thanks David, i see your already at my spot and im looking to see that I know a few folks where I think i am gonnna end up.  lol

I did a complete switch and traded for the T400 instead, after careful considerstion, this will do for the next  year and I can upgrad then, and put the cash to marketing and advertising more in some of the bigger markets, I think this will make more sence and get me where i want to be next year and be forced to purchase the better camera then.

Probably a very wise decision!

That is the position I find myself in also. The way things are going, I think most of the world is in a "wait and see" mode.

Besides, the cost of those high-end cameras have come down considerably since I started this and will likely improve with time.

Agreed David, wait and see.
But after a bunch of emails and chatting with a few fellow thermographers I decided it would prove fruitful to wait out the year and have my marketing done in a stronger market. A couple hour drive but the population is over a million people and I think breaking into there would be a better fit for the commercial end and the IR/IAQ end of things as well.
thanks for your information and help
All the best to you in the new year

My market area is 45 miles away (1.5 hour drive).

That's where the market is and better informed/educated clients. It's worth the drive for the inspection price differential.
