Only have the boson now, Tau is on loan by DJI,
The only thing I can do a comparison shot with, is ULIS Pico 384, which is inside a thermapp.
However, although that has similar (a bit worse) performance compared to tau2, there's a much better alternative with extremely low noise, the Chinese made iray t3s (VOx knockoff but somehow managed with better performance) , I will also compare that in the future.
If you dont need 12um for lens size, just get a tau2....ignore Boson and other uncooled 12um for now
