Good for the price - Bushnell Stealthview II 3x32 Digital Night Vision

Good for a first-time IR user. Good video output and focus. IR illumination is in the center of the field. I use the lowest power level, and you can still see plenty. At full power, close objects are washed out. It would benefit from a zoom ability, but OK for my purposes. Slight chromatic aberration, but I expect that is natural with the difference in wavelengths between visible and IR light. You may want a stand alone IR light source for better illumination.
Pros: Decent price, good optics
Cons: You really need a zoom
