5.0 out of 5 stars Top-notch for golf enthusiasts, June 29, 2009
By D. Miller (Rochester, NY) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Just used this Nikon LR1200 today for the first time. Specific likes:
- well made, compact size fits easily in my golf bag- no larger than my open hand; made by Nikon, who know something about optics...what more could you want?
- waterproof construction- Nikon claims you can old it under 5' of water for 5 minutes without damage.
- easy to use; 1 button point and shoot.
- I have the co-branded Calloway unit, which comes with a nifty little pouch that slips around the unit to protect it and has cover to protect front optics. Lacks one for the rear eyepiece but I found that a soda cap fits perfect.
- Image is clear and sharp; 7x optics quickly pick up distant objects; worked well on the white pin flags at a local course. Quickly picked up a flag at 525 yds! Zeroed in on a truck at 735 yds. Pins within 250 yds easily detected.
- unit allows you to "pan" your field and will display the closest object first. Very neat when you need to resolve a pin flag with a bunch of trees in the background.
- the optics have a diopter adjustment to compensate for vision.
- the battery compartment is very secure. (screw on cover with o-ring, that you can tighten/loosen with a coin
- after some on-line searches, picked it up new for $289, free shipping and no-tax... Great buy; compared to the $400+++ Bushnell 1500/1600 units.
- tried a Bushnell 550 before this... dont even bother thinking about using their 4x model... not suited for golf. And read reviews on some of the other Bushnell units before you buy.
- based on my two experiences, this LR1200 wont disappoint;
- hopes this helps; I am a real hacker (bogey golf) and was disappointed when I went searching for reviews.

My friend said this rangefinder provides distances faster than his, and I've used the rangefinder to lower my golf scores. I'm very pleased with my purchase.
