Are they good enough to just see through the night or is it too much of a toy?

It is gods gift if its a proper night vision goggles or if you know how to use it. But its a toy in the hands of a inexperienced fellow.
Looking to buy a camera that has night vision since mine doesn’t. I’m into meteor showers and such and would like to film one, one of these nights. Thanks!
NONE
There are a few, very few camcorders that are 0 LUX and have an IR lamp that will provide lighting out to about eight to ten feet.
Since meteor showers are sending light to the view from hundreds to a thousand miles away, a video camera, even with with a rather fast lens may miss the show.
Night vision scopes "starlight" collects all the light that is available and then amplifies it. If you have ever watched the Military Channel, you may have noticed that the images produced by them are VERY noisy and not sharp at all.
The best way to record meteor showers is to place your camera on a tripod, frame your shot and then open the shutter and leave it open for a few seconds. Start there and see if there is enough light, if not, you will have to either open the aperture of your lens, lengthen the exposure time or increase the ISO.

I would like to buy some Night Vision Binoculars/monoculars as a gift for a keen wildlife spotter. I do not want to spend a huge amount of money, but also do not want to buy a cheap substitute if these are not very good. Can anyone recommend a good model which is not too expensive? Or any advice on whether these are very good at the lower end of the scale? Thanks 
if your trying to go inexpensive then your looking at generation 1. these are not that good. good night vision is very expensive. you might want to pick another gift.
8 combatants; they can take weapons as long as the weapons don’t destroy the entire jungle:
James Bond
The Terminator
Predator
Gabe Logan
Sam Fisher
John Rambo
Snake (Big Boss)
Boba Fett
(I was gonna add Deadpool but that’d be a bit harsh)
So yeah-I think the above order is how it would go
James Bond has a Walther PPK and mini gadgets such as: wrist darts,explosive toothpaste,fingerprint scanner,lazer watch,explosive pens and lighters,firearms in mobile phone,X ray glasses/binoculars,grappling hook,explosive watch,mini camera and microphone.
I don’t think he is good close quarter and doubt he can use explosive weapons such as rocket launchers.
The Terminator won’t really be affected by any of Bond’s gadgets though; that and the fact that Bond has no explosives or experience in full-on jungle stealth and warfare. Terminator is awesome and the coolest out of these.
Gabe Logan fought in Grenada,Afghanistan and the Gulf War and has extensive firearm knowledge. He is also a scret agent. He can destroy the Terminator with explosives and if he doesn’t engage him directly.
Predator is pretty much as resilient as Terminator and has better weapons/can use stealth. His shoulder cannon is pretty deadly and could probably blow apart the Terminator. He seems to have better skills than Logan.
Boba Fett would probably win out of everyone in a direct fight. He has:bounty hunter skills,jetpack,EE-3 carbine rifle,bulletproof armour,knife,flamethrower,thermal detonator,wrist cord,grenade launcher and several types of rocket (normal,anti-personnel and stun
darts e.g. acid,poison,stun agents and explosive tips).
I doubt he is very stealthy though. He would probably lose to Rambo or Snake (those that know how to use explosives).
Sam Fisher (aka Jack Bauer) with gadgets is an expert at hiding and has many gadgets such as:
thermal/night vision goggles, fibre optic camera,grappling claw,knife,silenced FN pistol,SC-20K (silenced) assault rifle (aka modified FN F2000),armour-piercing sniper rifle attachment for the FN F2000,40mm grenade launcher that also fires gas grenades ,EMP and mini cameras.
He also knows Krav Maga and worked in the SEALS, CIA and NSA. He should find a way of beating Predator or Fett.
John Rambo-need I say more? He fought in ‘Nam and in the Afghanistan War and has sooo many medals. He is good at CQC (shown in Rambo II I believe),has a big knife and can take on the entire police force by himself. He knows how to use loads of weapons and even uses explosive bows. He can also use a rocket launcher while simultaneously flying a helicopter.He can also booby-trap people.
Big Boss/Snake is pretty much Rambo but with better stealth skills. He is proficient in the use of C4 explosives,stinger missiles,SOCOM pistols,FAMAS machine gun,PSG-1 sniper rifles and Nikita missile launchers. He chokes people out in fights and is a master of stealth and camoflage. He can even get by in a box and uses chaff grenades to bypass explosives. Not to mention he eats snakes and creates antivenom.
Deadpool would own the lot of these though. Except Batman; they are not in this fight though :
if you are asking which one would win out of these i think The Terminator.

Where are the 90 thousand AK47 ,night vision googles,uniforms and military equipment,that went missing in Iraq that belongs to the USA?
Did George W Bush pocket the profit your beloved american prisedent
Pop Bang you have the best answer.
No. The effort to great an Iraqi army and police force from nothing are pointless. Trainees arrive, take advantage of the free training and the free paychecks and the free food and shelter, and then skip out. They take their new weapons with them. Exactly the same thing is happening in Afghanistan, and there’s nothing Americans can do to stop it.

Bushnell Night Vision scopes are comprised of high quality image intensifier tubes and optics. Bushnell Night Vision monoculars and binoculars collect and amplify existing light through the objective lens, which is then focused on the image intensifier. Inside the intensifier, a photocathode is “excited” by the light and converts the photon energy into electrons. These electrons accelerate across an electrostatic field inside the intensifier and strike a phosphor screen (like a green monochrome TV screen) which emits an image that you can see. It is the acceleration of electrons, which provides gain and enhances the image. This is a Generation I Night Vision device . If you
