The Nikon is in my bag also. A key difference is the Canon utilizes digital imaging, which can have some hiccups with flashes of lights and such. Based on some upgrades to Nikon’s mid-price models, I’m hopeful that there’s a ProIII soon with jolt and a magnet.

Appreciate the review, but not great that you couldn’t track down a cheap USB-C cable or SD card adapter to actually showcase the standout feature of the device. It also begs the question how you even download photos in general (wireless workflow)? Regardless of the benefit debate, it should be a part of a “review” of the product.

They make cheap SD card readers with lightning or USB/USB-C connections – posting without the rangefinder photos certainly does a disservice to this device

Curious how this compares to the Nikon Coolshot ProII Stabilized, specifically the optics and image stabilization.
I’ve been using the Nikon for a couple years now and the optics. I do wish it had the jolt feature though.

I like the idea of a 12 x zoom… But not being wirelessly transferable to your phone is pretty dated.
Very funny comment about the slow playing partner..,, was that from your actual round?!

We all have pretty powerful camera phones already in our pocket. I don’t see how taking pictures with my rangefinder (that I can’t even see, show, or share without additional hassle and expense) is needed in any shape or form. I applaud them trying/thinking outside the box, but this seems like a solution looking for a problem.
