It looks like a veritable stampede of new players in the thermal market.

I just noticed and am surprised that the 640 version with nearly 3x the resolution (327680 pixles) has less than 50% better overall detection, recognition, and identification capabilities of the 384 (110512 pixels). Is that the same with other thermals?

Range/resolution (calculated for image subject 1.7 m x 0.5 m (66.9 inch x 20.0 inch))
Detection range/Resolution 2000 m/2 pixels (2187 yrd/2 pixels)
Recognition range/Resolution 700 m/6 pixels (766 yrd/6 pixels)
Identification range/Resolution 350 m/12 pixels (383 yrd/12 pixels)

Detection range/resolution 3000 m/2 pixels (3281 yrd/2 pixels)
Recognition range/resolution 1000 m/6 pixels (1094 yrd/6 pixels)
Identification range/resolutin 500 m/12 pixels (547 yrd/12 pixels)
