FLIR Flir E4 Vs E5 vs E6 vs e8 Thermal Imagers

Comparison of the FLIR Ex Thermal Imagers. E4 vs E5 vs E6 vs E8 Thermal Imagers.

Highlight of the differences:

Detector Sizes
Picture in Picture
Thermal Sensitivity

These are the differences in the E4, E5, E6, and E8. (There is no E7. We here are TEquipment.NET are not sure why they left the E7 out of the numbering system.
We believe there is a boating camera that has the model number, so they left it out of the number system.)

Below is a nice grid of all the specifications of the Ex FLIR Series. Just click show differences to see the highlighted differences on these units.

A good rule of thumb is to consider the detector size as the most important attribute to look for since it affects the overall picture quality. Also take a look at this comparison video. The video discusses the E4, E5, E6, and E8 thermal cameras, plus near the end the E40, E50, and E60 cameras too. There is also a look at FLIR's MSX Technology.
