LOL...I knew you'd be posting pics.
My honest opinion is they are both good brands.
Some pic quality has to do with the water you're fishing. Way to many factors to figure in than just which mfg.
Some guys are looking for the perfect pic and will push buttons all day. Some guys get bored with the buttons and start to fish.

Yea,when i saw the link you posted i couldn't resist. . It was like you were challenging me.. I agree that a lot determands the picture quallity justinp61,has some great shots of this bridge also.the uses a hds. Here's one more picture of the bridge using the 360 in Di mold http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps3a45eedc.png

The author of this will be alright once he determands the cause the cause of the rf noise.or at least that's proberly what causes his issues

Anyone know a fix to this? Besides that im in the market for a di/si unit. Lookin at possibly a humminbird 898. Anyone recommend this unit or something in the similar price range. Found a few around the $1200 price range. Thanks for the help

No i sure havent. Like i said ive had this unit for 2 years now. Had the freezing up problems right out pf the gate but now out of the blue it wants to mess up depth reading. I very much dislike this unit due to the problems this thing has caused. I guess ill try calling hummingbird before i go at this unit with a baseball bat and get $650 of enjoyment out of it. Thanks for the suggestions guys.

Here's some contact info. I sure wish you didn't wait 2 years tho..good luck with your unit.i believe that theyall get you going http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps3c7ed31a.png
