*Note: Based on a compact mirrorless DSLR camera with 24 Mega pixels resolution. This DSLR is very lightweight and compact in size making it ideal to travel with in forest or fields. Despite this, it produces images of quality that equals or surpasses those of conventional DSLR systems (mirror based).

All these systems acquire images and store them on memory cards that can be swapped in the fields. They also come with a one year warranty.

Software Alone or Complete System?

When WinSCANOPY is ordered as a complete system, you get a calibration file that indicates WinSCANOPY which camera and lens is in use (but you can change it) and where in the image is the hemisphere with a 180 degrees field of view for your camera and lens pair. Some lenses can see more than 180 degrees, so it is important to find the hemisphere radius which corresponds to the 180 degrees. Also, the position of the hemisphere in the image changes between different cameras of the same make and model. You also get a lens calibration which allows to compensate for non-linearities in the projection in the image in function of the zenith angle. To analyse images in these conditions you do not need to enter camera parameters (this is all done for you in the calibration file), you simply click the image.

Our interactive price lists below are Excel files without Macros (for security). Instructions are on the Home and products sheets (each product has its own sheet). You must enter your customer information on the Home sheet and select the items you are interested in on the products sheets. The list then: • Calculates discounts when buying more than one product (you get 20% on the second, 40% on the third and 60% for the fourth and more). • Produce a quote with shipping costs on the Quote sheet. Click here to download our Canadian dollar price list valid everywhere. Quotes made with it MUST BE PAID in Canadian dollars (not USD or EU). Click here to download our US dollar price list valid everywhere except Canada. Quotes made with it MUST BE PAID in US dollars (not Canadian dollars or EU). Click here to download our Euro price list valid in the European Union countries. Quotes made with it MUST BE PAID in EU (not Canadian or US dollars).

Our digital cameras come with more accessories than those provided by their manufacturer. As an example, on some system, we include a second battery and a high capacity memory card to store a reasonable amount of images. They also come with a calibration, additional operating instructions and technical support.

Our prices are the same worldwide and for the same conditions (pre-paid). In order for this to be possible, the buyer pays for shipping, customs clearance and their local taxes (these are charged by the carrier). There are no Canadian taxes on international sales.

If you are requesting prices for budgetary purposes or for a long period of time (over a year), we encourage you to not ask for a formal quote but to use the current prices on the list.

If you would like to know the cost of updating (e.g. from WinSCANOPY 2012 to 2024) and/or upgrading (e.g. from WinSCANOPY Basic to Pro) your current software version, let us know and we'll send you a different price list with that information.

Note that we do not sell cameras, lenses and accessories without the WinSCANOPY software
