It's worse than that, most likely. The cheapest FLIR cameras have 320x240 IR sensors, but they downsample to 80x60 unless you either pony up several thousand dollars for the E8 model or buy a $1000 E4 and hack it. There's no way they're enabling 320x240 IR imaging in a $350 iPhone peripheral. If they were, they'd be trumpeting it all over their marketing literature, rather than neglecting to mention resolution at all as they're doing.

And yes, launching this thing a few days before the iPhone 6 announcement is about the stupidest goddamn marketing move since the Osborne 1. Somebody needs to lose their job over that.

In FLIR's defense, 80x60 is still very useful for a lot of things. The ability to overlay low-resolution IR and moderate-resolution visual images is sort of a cheesy gimmick, but it makes the low-res IR sensors vastly more useful. (My E4 is hacked for 320x240 support, so I usually turn the MSX overlay off.)

The only photo settings in the current app:

- Color (you can pick how the color scale is rendered)

- Sensitivity (matte, semi-matte, semi-glossy, glossy)

They're releasing a few more apps of their own and an SDK, so it might be possible in the future to get the raw IR image.
