So it looks like I may need to do a bit more research on the NM800 because I am confused on where it stands in performance related to the T20 and T67.
The illuminator has every bit as much importance as the scope/firmware in the final performance equation and I haven't had a need for more than a T20 until I started with the X-sight.
My unit was returned to the dealer and I have not asked for a replacement as I await the new SDK and firmware but the intention is to get an X-sight again.
Thanks for the responses I think the NM800 is equivalent to the T50. It uses an 850nm DR-IR LED if that means anything to you! I don't know how the T50 compares to a Nightmaster as only have the latter, but it is an excellent lamp. More spec is found at the dereelight website under Nightmaster

But that just me, saying that /MKL

okay, so I got my x sight and am trying to update the firmware to 200, follow instructions and no prompt after I start it up so what am I doing wrong? Make sure when you format your SD card that you use "Fat 32" for the firmware update. I used the newer format first and it did what you are explaining. Then I tried fat32 and it loaded fine.

I would try reformating the card using fat 32 (you can use the quick format), then add the bin file to the card. Make sure the file is named correctly.
To format: right click on the sd card drive in windows explorer, click format, select quick format and then start (or Ok or Format, don't have my computer in front of me).

thanks for the help, I will need more tomorrow most likely Just out of curiosity what firmware is currently on it? I havent tried to load a firmware of the same release on top of itself. Sometimes its best to walk away for awhile.

Download the version you want from my box site,
format the microsd card with fat32 and copy
the file there, rename it to xsight.bin put
it in the card slot and start the scope, if
all is ok it will ask you if you want to update
firmware, say yes and it will start loading the
new one. at 100 % remove the batteries(hard reset)
and the Micro sdcard, put the batteries back in
and restart the scope.
Then it should finnish the last details of updating
the firmware.
Good Luck
