I'm looking to buy some used Flir Thermal Camera, I want to know what model or feature I must consider to make sure it will be a useful tool for my lab.

what do you plan to use it for and what is your budget?
-
I want to use it for electronics projects like monitoring components getting hot
for used my budget is $200 to $250 (still cheaper is better).

I realize they aren't USB interface, but I humbly suggest my open-source tCam-Mini or tCam cameras. They are Wifi enabled so you can view and export data on desktop or mobile and there is a python driver if you want to incorporate radiometric data into your own app. I actually designed them for my own lab work.
