These are my scopes and I wanted to show the differences between Digital VS Gen 2+.  In this round I have a Pulsar N550A VS a Gen2+ Sentinel on a full moon with no IR used on either unit.  The next test I will do will be with no moon and IR on both to see what the differences will be.  I love both of these scopes and they both have pro's and con's.  
Pulsar N550A Pro's
Great clarity
Priced cheaper than traditional night vision
record your hunts with a dvr
not as heavy as traditional night vision scopes
can be used both day and night
Can use an external battery pack to run 20 hours straight
Con's
battery hog, usually get 4-5 hours on double A batteries
Dependent on IR light
must have a lot of ambient light to use without IR

Sentinel Gen 2+ Pro's
Great clarity
works great with ambient light without IR
Hardly ever replace the batteries
Con's
I have this on a dedicated hog rifle cannot use this during the day
Only 1 reticle choice
Cannot record your hunts easily compared to digital
Expensive, about $1000 more than the Pulsar N550A

Here are the pics on a full moon night.  Again no IR light was used.
At work right now but here is the link to the pictures and when I get home I will upload them here.
