 Good, I like the Cyclops better August 15, 2002

This is another good scope by a well known brand - Night owl, and should work well for most. I prefer it to the Cyclops as well - it has a much nicer shape.
 Not useful due to very small field of vision October 12, 2006

The field of vision is too small for any useful viewing. If you already know where your object is in the dark, then you can point this device towards the object and view it in dark. But if you are searching for an object in the dark, the small field of vision makes the search useless.
Also, there is too much "noise" in the image, thus making it very difficult to recognize the object that you are viewing.
The IR makes the field of vision even smaller.
Overall I did not find this device useful even for ordinary pleasure viewing.
By the way, if you own a camcorder with night-view, you already know how how the objects look in the dark. You can use your camcorder's night view feature instead of buying this expensive device
 Disregard the bad review. October 25, 2006

I bought this from Amazon and am thoroughly impressed. The field of view is fine, and you can see a ton of detail within a reasonable range. I turned out the lights in my room, looked out the window with it at my pool (20 feet away) and saw ripples in the water. I aimed it up at the sky, and saw a line of incoming airline traffic that I couldn't see otherwise. I took it down to the basement -- pitch black -- used the infrared illuminator and could read the text off boxes. Taking it outside, I could see clearly the houses across the street, cars, dogs outside -- just a ton of stuff. Remove the gear from my eye and I can see little to nothing. The thing's a beaut.
My only concerns are about how long it will last and hold up. Light damages this type of technology if handled improperly, and I'm hoping that generally careful use and no abuse will keep this thing purring for a long time. The power source is convenient too --- two double AA's are all you need.

I bought this item over a year ago, and it has never served for anything. Once I spotted a deer and turned on the "IR" illuminator, and the deer ran away - not too surprising, it is actually a red light and totally visible for most animals. Better use a flashlight. This is a first-generation nightscope, and has a very small range of utility: If there is a little light, the adapted human eye sees better, and if there is almost no light the device does not see either. 100 bucks is not too much of a waste, but if you are serious about nightvision you should spend about 10 times as much.
