I bought the humminbird 570 di and I love it. I don't have anything to compare it to but I can see individual fish in between branches under water.
NIMROD has the Humminbird. He says he really likes it.
Here are some pics from a 597 (not the best one's but quickest I could get) note-my ducer is through hull--but I love the unit

Here are a couple pictures from an Elite 5 DSI. I was comparing 455 and 800 khz settings.

way cool. one problem with mine is the pics are coming from recordings not screen shots--screen shots are WAY better but I start recording as soon as I get on the water (can't take screen shots and record at the same timebanghead Also--at least yet--I haven't found the best conditions to use 800 yet--I always stay on 455. But as I am sure you do--I really love the DIQuote:

notice the first pic I have posted--two branches sticking up out of the channel. Again-these pics are from recordings and viewed from Humviewer. On the screen on the water--it is much sharper--most of my fishing this time of year is in 1 to 5 ft of water and can see everything your would ever want to see.Quote:
