does any one have this model ? if so any input good & bad would help make up my mind.
got one LOVE it .....MORE DETAIL than I have ever seen.......... Down Imaging Technology is in one word .........awesome-you wont be disapointed - go to Humminbird.com and look at the Down Imaging section......
Just one person with one? Boy the odds seem like their not that good!
I've had one for a few weeks now. I do love the versatility of the unit. The DI takes some fine tuning to get "picture perfect" results. It still has the dual beam 2d sonar which can be very nice. For the money, I don't think there's a better unit out there.
I am disappointed - a Humminbird.com screen picture for 570 DI is a photoshop version of the 997 SI screenshot that was taken on 22 January 2010 (post#16620, S00140.png):Quote:

If it is possible for you to wait until you can save enough to get SI...you won't be dissappointed....Quote:

Is this 570 compatible with a i-polit
Thank you kosmo for the link. No doubt that 597 DI is better - it has almost two times more pixels and power. Though it looks like a DEMO mode it is OK.
I am going to get 570 DI by several reasons:
1. I am going to use it without boat at winter time as well -it's energy consumption is much less (1/3).
2. Power is half less - it is good for fish.
3. It is not expensive and will not require much care.
I have found a couple of sites with real screen shots:

They are not a good quality, but structure looks great, one can see any single thing on the bottom! Several guys claimed that it has crystal clear view. When I see fish spots on the screen I’ll buy it :)
I have the 565, the old unit that was updated into the 570, and need nothing more on the front of my boat. Add the DI technology and it's way better. For the money and comparing apples to apples with others in it's price range, I would buy it without a second thought. Side image is really great, but they're also about 5 times the money. I'll upgrade my Lowrance on the console with a side image one day, but the 570 DI on the front will truly take care of business. Just my opinion.
As far as I know SI units quite distinctly show fish marks on their screens even on bottom background (big fish), have you already seen them on your unit, on DI?
I absolutely love my 570DI. I was on a budget so I bought this one. I would love to have the side imaging, but with my current boat and financial situation.......the $300 unit was plenty upgrade from what I had. The reg 2d view is already much better than what I had. I love the split screen. I've only had it on 2 of the lakes I fish and it helped me make sense of some things and I found structure I never know was there. If you can save the a higher model with more features, go for it......but if you are limited like me, you will not regret this one.
I know my unit shows fish. I have noticed fish near structure then caught some off it and one time came across the largest school of shad I have ever seen while I was watching for struture.Quote:

I just pulled the trigger on the 570DI, and will be rigging it portable to move from a couple of different boats. Thanks for the forum help !

I'm new to HUMMINGBIRD so need to tweak it for best viewing, but that will come with more use..
I'll update, soon !
Here is my portable mount I did. It's pretty cool to see the DI images down there and what the fishfinder mode shows, AND my other fish finder.
Can't wait to see what my Crappie reefs look like!!
Poona, great video.how do you embed the video onto this website
Find the numbers at the end of your video you want to upload, then put them between this [ youtube ] numbers [ /youtube ] Thumbs Up
for some reason, it wouldn't show up when I spaced it all togethere, so crunch the stuff together and try. Once you do it, I think there is an option to review
