Amazon.com Product Description

Stop guessing at distances while hunting or building with the Nikon ProStaff 550 laser rangefinder. Offering absolute precision in the palm of your hand, the ProStaff 550 employs Nikon's advanced Tru-Target ranging system, which lets users prioritize smaller and harder-to-range lone targets at the push of a button. As a result, it's easier than ever to range objects as small as fence posts, or get an instant read on that lone buck in the meadow. The unit also relies on Nikon's advanced ID technology to compensate for various incline or decline shooting angles--up to an incredible plus-or-minus 89 degrees (nearly vertical up or down). And thanks to Nikon's digital measurement processor, you'll enjoy speedy 1/2-yard accuracy within 99.5 yards, and 1-yard accuracy from 100 to 550 yards. On the other end of the spectrum, the unit can range as close as 11 yards, so you aren't restricted to long-distance targets only.

Add in such features as 6x multicoated optics, an eyeglass-friendly 18mm of eye relief, a continuous measurement mode, 100-percent waterproof and fogproof construction; and a maximum measurement of 733 yards and you have a comfortable, powerful range finder that leaves its competitors in the dust.

4.0 out of 5 stars Testing two nice Nikon laser range finders, Others to consider, August 11, 2009
This review is from: Nikon ProStaff 550 Laser Rangefinder (Green) (Sports)
I have compared the Nikon ProStaff Laser Rangefinder 550 to a Nikon Prostaff 440 and a Bushnell Yardage Pro Sport 450, using all three on the same targets.
Note: I have NOT tried these units on a golf course. All three units are made in China.

The Nikon 550 is a very capable laser range finder, and is very similar in ability to the Nikon 440.
The main differences between the two are the slightly greater range of the 550 model.
Despite the understatement of the advertising, I have ranged out to 706 yards with the Nikon 550, and 545 yards with the Nikon 440.
Dark trees can be ranged up to about 400 yards with the Nikon 550, and 330 yards with the Nikon 440. Deer can be ranged to 300 yards reliably with both. The 550 model has a magnification of 6X and the 440 unit is 8X and I greatly prefer the 8X view of the Nikon 440.
Both have a diopter adjustment which is adequate for my eyeglass correction of +5 diopters with and without my glasses... Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Good For Golf, February 22, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Nikon ProStaff 550 Laser Rangefinder (Green) (Sports)
I bought this mainly for golf. I tried the Nikon 8358 in the range from someone else and was really happy with it. Then I came to amazon to try to buy one but I found the ProStaff 550 is much better deal so ordered one. I thought the difference would be just the distance range. For golf, I really don't need 1200 yards. 550 yards would be more than enough for me. However, when I took it to the driving range to try it out, I was extremely disappointed with the ProStaff 550. It was so difficult to get the distance, even for flags within 100 yards because it picks up the trees or any objects behind the flag. To me, it's really useless. For golf, you need to get the callaway LR550, which is also made by Nikon and looks exactly the same. However, there is a major difference, which is LR550 added a first target mode which displays range to nearest target.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just works!, April 21, 2009
This review is from: Nikon ProStaff 550 Laser Rangefinder (Green) (Sports)
I bought this for my golf play. It just works as expected. Compared to my friend;s similarly priceed bushnell rangefinder, Nikon 550 detects range faster and higher success rates. And this is even smaller and lighter also. I'm totally pleased the quality and price of this rangefinder.
