Hey everyone, new to the forum. I am a ME/AE at the University of Florida doing a project on building a UAV for wildfire surveillance.We need an infrared camera and the only options that I have found so far is the Flir Tau series. The max resolution for the Flir Tau is 320x240. We are looking for a camera with a resolution of 640x480. The only camera from Flir is the Photon 640, which is about 2.5 times the weight, and 8x the volume.I was wondering if anyone knows of any other IR cameras with similar weight and volume similar to the Flir Tau? (~100 grams, 1.2"x1.2"x1.4")Thanks all. Great forum BTW, very helpful for my project.

I don't know what your schedule is like, but I would stay tuned to FLIR over the next couple months if you have the time. Take a look at number 32 on the FAQ ;)...
Sounds nice project. I was not knowing that Sony SLR has IR capabilities.
I too have smiler project in my mind. I have Sony Digital SLR camera, I can connect to computer and download all pictures taken. when I connect to computer it is shown as flash drive not as actual camera, what I mean is it is not able to recognize all the features of camera. So I am not able to use to for my image processing project. I wonder if some on point me to any drivers or s/w, It would be very help full, so that I can utilizes all the features of my Sony Alpha 300 SLR camera for Image Processing Project. I program in C# though FYI.
One more Quick Q, Is it possible to use it zooming features programmatically ? I hope there is way around.

Someday I will be at the point of choosing camera options, but today it is still selecting an airframe!
Best,
