[QUOTE="Double Naught Spy, post: 1313385, member: 55410"] I understand your perspective and all I can say is that you are missing several things, but that is no fault of yours. The picture is definitely better than the 384 resolution units. For some reason, Pulsar opted to not make this in higher native magnification, which makes a HUGE difference. This is a 1.6x native magnification scope. Personally, I would like to have seen the native resolution be somewhere between 2.5 and 4x which I sort of feel is a sweet spot for general utility for 640 resolution thermal scopes, giving you better clarity up close and a bit more reach for those of us who like to shoot farther. At 1.6x this is more comparable to an IR Hunter MKII 1.5x scope than the IR Hunter MKIII 4.5x that I have been running recently. The second aspect is that the video feature on these does not match the quality of the image seen through the viewfinder which gives you a much better contrasted image. The one other factor coming into play here is that there is a variety of higher grass stalks between the hogs and me in this video that break up the image. I can tell you that things didn't look significantly better through my Armasight Zeus II 2x 640 scope at the time, either. Here is another guy's version of what the scope can do. Different conditions, mowed field, different results. [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zg5nfnvT9JA[/url] [/QUOTE]
