www.bergeng.com offers the Fluke TiR Thermal Imager for just over $4K. Berg Engineering does not stock a large inventory of product, but if you're based near Chicago, they could be a worthwhile option if you want a good price on a TiR.
The TiR has a 160 X 120 FPA uncooled microbolometer with 100mk sensitivity, and saves images to a removeable SD memory card. Like most manufacturers, they offer a 2-year warranty. Unlike many, full TiR user manuals are on their web site, and the product is actually "ruggedized" and engineered to survive a 2 meter fall. Fluke in general is one of the most popular test and engineering tool manufacturers.
Fluke offers a very good picture and battery-life (3+ hours) in this price range. If your budget is higher, consider the B-CAM SD for just under $7K.
I'd love to get my hands on either one, if only for a few hours, to write a true hands-on review, but at these price points the units rent for upwards of $100/day.
