I intentionally mentioned the on paper part because I can't attest to the absolute accuracy, but in the aspects that are easily comparable I would say it's way ahead of the FLIR C5 that cost 4x as much I use at work.

Both are used for diagnostics of electronics, so the resolution and framerate make a noticeable difference here. On top of that mine boots up and is ready to go in under 5 seconds, while the FLIR takes close to a minute to get ready for some reason.

Likely because it is self-calibrating or waiting for some internal temperature to stabilise.

For a lot of uses that doesn't really matter tbf. IIRC in the FLIR software you can disable the periodic self calibration they do (which is quite annoying). Maybe that would improve startup time.
