You’re right, the TigerVision is more powerful, but the nightshot in conventional digital cameras are the original inventors of the technology.

True, the general idea is the same, but the TigerVision bumps it up a notch with a powerful LED array, interchangable lenses, and a nice little tactical package including a wireless eyepiece. I suppose one could use a NightShot camera to the same ends, it just wouldn't be quite as flexible or powerful.

Thanks for the link.

I think that sony camcorders have been doing this for a long time. This article deals with it a bit http://www.wired.com/news/culture/0,1284,14447,00.html
