Does this model have a "reflective" mode? Want to use it for hunting and golfing.

It measures distance by picking out the brightest object in the frame. I guess that's using a reflection but I don't think you'll like it for hunting if you plan to hunt in the woods. On cloudy days and in deep shade it just doesn't work.

the non primos one has clear shot. its cool, it tells you the highest point of your arrows path so you can see if a branch is in the way. all in all not needed but nice to have. it is also able to be calibrated where the primos is not. there is definitely more to the non primos, its the next edition to it looks like primo stopped the partnership http://www.amazon.com/Bushnell-202442-4x20mm-Bowhunting-Rangefinder/dp/B00ILFLT24/ref=dp_ob_title_sports the video goes over the new stuff

I don't know for certain, since I haven't used the illuminated version. But I would check the reviews of that particular model very carefully, and make sure that you can adjust the brightness all the way down. A common complaint with illuminated gear is that the brightness may be adjustable, but that even a the lowest setting it is still too bright. I can tell you that I've never been tempted by the illuminated version because I've never had a problem seeing the crosshairs on the regular version, and I've used it everywhere from city center sidewalk astronomy to radically dark skies deep in the Mojave desert. It seems to me that for bright stuff you don't need illlumination, and that for dim stuff the illumination might compete with the faint light from the target, BUT take that with a huge grain of salt since I am basically speaking from ignorance.

If you can stand it on window sill or mount it to something,You can but in bright sunlight it may give a glare. I have hadit take really clear pics and a few washout pic. We use it to hunt, I love it. Have other brand cams but like Wildgame the best.

It does but only for distance. It stated all sport but there is only one setting (running). The only thing I don't like about it. I would use my 205 settings for all the different sports; hiking, biking, running etc. so I am missing that feature a bit.

no optical viewfinder. I did not work in the bright sunlight for me. You might try another unit for outside use. even one that has a greater range. Or possibly some kind of reflective plate so you can see the dot. The last Outside measurement I did was at twilight.

It has a reflective screen. I wouldn't get this model if I couldn't control the light in the room.Hope this helps you make a decision. That being said, I really like mine.

I don't have any glare issues with it. It can get washed out a bit outside, but its still visible. The big problem with the design is that if you accidentally bump it (or put the rifle its on in a bag) it will lose sighting. I find myself re-sighting everytime I use it. I got some MBUS sights and then I quickly re-sight it off them.

Not to my knowledge - I don't know how else to access settings. There is no viewfinder.

Using reflective target it states up to 100 yardsbut I have not tried that distance the farthest I have tried is 50 yards and saw it fine no issues in bright daylight

Shawn, Not as reflective as my other flat screens. It is no where as near reflective as any tube TV and I can watch most programs with the balcony blinds wide open even though the screen is situated at an angle to the patio door there. Only the darkest scenes are hard to see and that isn't because of reflectivity, but because of the sheer volume of light emanating from the patio door itself. Right now I am looking at the screen with the TV off and it is 11:45 AM and though the blinds are closed, there are still streaks of light coming in between the blinds. Even so, I can't see myself reflected in the screen except as a very faint ghost-like figure and I am sitting about 12 feet away from the screen. With any of my other flat screens, I would be like looking in a mirror in comparison Now my flat screen BENQ computer screen has absolutely no reflection in it even sitting 2 feet in front of it but no large screen TV I have ever seen is that non-reflective . That BENQ screen has absolutely no reflection at all!. Their 55" large screen is an interactive touch screen monitor that costs about $3,600 a pop and is meant for classrooms and corporate presentations. not home entertainment. They also have a 65" that runs $6,859 a pop too. Ahh to be rich! I also agree with Rong that the picture is superior but the sound is sub-par. I am also looking for an add on sound enhancement. My main problem with the sound is that it varies so much by what station you are listening to. On one, a setting of 25 is plenty loud while on another you may have to crank it up to 65-70 but don't forget to lower it again before switching channels because you may blow your eardrums out! It runs much cooler than my previous Motorola set did. That one got so hot you could almost cook on it.

I ended up returning this item as the field of view did not meet my needs. I don't recall if there was a built in video capability. Sorry.

I've only had it for less than a week, haven't encountered that, sorry. I use the optical viewfinder mostly, don't really look at the images until I'm back at the computer.

I am not a golfer and use mine primarily for bow hunting as well as some long ranging hunting applications and it has served me well. The elevation (True Distance) has worked quite well for me but that is bow hunting at 20-30 yards tops. I would think it would work OK for golf as well. It may be a tad harder to lock into the target on long distance on real bright, clear, sunny days; however, it is much more affordable than most and I would reccomend givin' it a try with golfing. I am happy with mine but is for a different use.

The Monarch 7 will work great for hunting, birding or sporting events inside or outside. The raincap will not stay on if using them during wet weather. I put several layers of duct tape on the I.D. to help keep in place. Overall an excellent binocular.

When I use it on the golf course, it is very visible as the display is in black and white. And I prefer it to my Garmin as it is on my wrist thus always visible.

Like the idea of the illuminated scope. The Penetrator and Predator by Barnett have one Hugh flaw. My son has the Penetrator and it shoots great, his friend same with the Predator but the scope is Chinese JUNK. His friend slipped while crossing a streams, under for a second, scope full of water, hunt ended. NEVER, NEVER buy anything from a company that does not have a waterproof scope! Your out in all kinds of elements and not having a waterproof scope turns your hunt to JUNK. I have a Parker, Tornado, with an illuminated, waterproof scope, I love it!!
