[QUOTE="Skinny Shooter, post: 98371, member: 716"] Didn't think this would fit under product reviews so posted it in here. I have a new Elite 1500 rangefinder that works better than my older yardage pro 1000. While out one evening I tried to get some ranges where I predator hunt. The readout couldn't be read. Bushnell advertises this model as having a low-light level LED. [ QUOTE ] Hunters seeking the ultimate in rangefinders need look no further than the new Elite® 1500. Accurate measurements from 5 to 1,500 yards. Fully multi-coated optics for superior resolution. [b]An internal low-light LED for dusk and dawn conditions[/b]... [/ QUOTE ] The only thing the LED provides is a greenish-yellow glow in the bottom of the screen. It does not illuminate the readout in any way. If it's dusk or dawn, the bold-lettered readout stands out from the background and no light is needed. So if I'm out in the dark looking for coyotes, I won't be able to range distances. Has anyone else noticed this? Am very tempted to take this unit back to Cabela's and replace it with a Leica 1200 or a new Leupold RX-IV. Allen [/QUOTE]
