Anyone have any reviews? How much better is it than the 1st Gen?

I ordered one in the morning of June 25th when it was first announced that it was shipping but I've been getting lots of BS from FLIR when I did not receive the unit by July 3rd.

Can't really find any reviews that aren't from normal consumers. Makes me wonder if they only had a handful available to ship.

I've seen some reviews from tech blogs, but the longest distance I've seen from them is about 10'. I know TheHorta did a test with the Gen 1 to about 75 yards at night. I'd like to see something like that.

I have the Seek and the FlirOne, I like them both.

There was just a Firmware Update for the FlirOne today while I was using it to video tape the filling of a  40 liter Dewar flask with 40 liters of minus 475 degree liquid nitrogen, worked extremely well.

I bought the Seek XR tonight. I can't wait to try it, but I don't expect much during the summer when everything is 90 degrees out.

There is about $5 million plus worth of genetically engineered recombinant viruses in that tank that are used for human gene therapy clinical trials and took decades to clone.

My translation:

It's some expensive shit that will probably end the human race.
