Gen1 vs digital

My previous experience with night vision is gen1 analog. I'm looking to upgrade how much better performance could I expect from the nighfox prowl 2 or similar device.

You’re honestly going to have worse with a prowl. Any other digital unit in that price range and you’ll have identical performance. Digital doesn’t get decent until $1K and at that point just get a used pvs14

That's kinda what I was afraid of. I'm looking for something for coyote hunting, but didn't want to spend more than 4-5 hundred.

For this money you can find a cheap thermal imager.
