 very disappointed.... February 6, 2010

I bought the rangefinder in Dec. 2009 and used only about two months. About a week ago, I found out that the cap for battery fell off somewhere and can not use it anymore. I called the Callaway and was directed to Nikon.
Nikon said that I have to send by registered mail to see whether it is being covered by the warranty. Otherwise, I wasted $270.

I tried an inexpensive GPS rangefinder (iGolf Neo), but found its readings inconsistent. I was reluctant to try the more expensive GPS rangefinders, and the laser rangefinders were also quite expensive. I then ran across the LR550Y and was impressed by reviews, the reputation of Nikon quality, and a reasonable price ($260). It's a solid product that performs well.
The unit is light and easy to handle. It will fit in a reasonably big pocket. The colors make it easy to not forget it in the cart (though this also makes it conspicuous and easy for thieves to spot - be careful!). The eyepiece adjusts easily for a sharp view, and the unit is also handy as a 6x monocular on the course. With a little practice it is easy to use. I cannot hold it steady enough to get the crosshairs directly on the flag for a reading unless I'm within 100 yards. At larger distances you put the crosshairs on a reflective area on or near the green, depress the button, and then slowly sweep the crosshairs over the pin. (you have about 8 seconds of sweep readings). The numbers will change as you go over the flag and you have your reading. It doesn't hurt to double check with distance readings from other course markers.
This is a quality item that can increase your confidence that you have the right club, though it can't swing the club for you.
