In Europe it's called S500, in NA it's called S550. The engine is the same though.

While I agree that it is somewhat irritating that you have to look down and change your focus when using it, Plato completely fooled the viewer with his little "test"!

You know why he wasn't able to see his producer on the Night Vision display? Because he was standing still and the IR beams of the Night Vision system are only activated at speeds above 15 km/h (or around 9 mph)! I read that after seeing the review a couple of months ago.

Way to prove a point!

Nice find. Any idea why they would turn off the beams though?
