Sadly all indicators to date are that the LEPTON is an 80x60 microbolometer. It is, however, a well sorted camera module which is more than can be said for the present SEEK camera.
I need decent resolution (160x120 or greater) for electronics work but there are many users who would be happy with a more general thermal view combined with the MSX that provides the all important CONTEXT to the picture.
The question for buyers will be:
Do I want a ground breaking medium resolution thermal camera module from a 'start-up' company that has some image quality issues, and no sign of rectification to date,..... or do I settle for a similarly priced lower resolution module with MSX that is well sorted and from a company that has an excellent track record in the TIC manufacturing industry. When put in these terms, SEEK Thermal look vulnerable. They need to sort the issues with the SEEK camera, and fast.
I am just playing Devil's advocate here but FLIR are likely confident that their new babies will make a splash that will overshadow the troubled SEEK module.
Time will tell.
