Thread: Very best down image?

Opinions on what unit has the best detailed down scan images. Is it lowrance? Is that good as it gets?

"The best" image is purely ones opinion. I am very satisfied with the images on my Lowrances, while others may think they are terrible. It all boils down to personal preference and finances when it comes down to buying fishing electronics. My $.02.

Now Brett...you've owned almost all of them...(even the Garmin you've recently purchased)...

That gives you an advantaged opinion over all of us who have only owned HB or Lowrance...

Which do you think gives the best detailed down scan images...??

Come on genec, it's only internet bullets. Really.......... they don't hurt.

Its the one with a dedicated DI crystal in the transducer...hope that narrows the field...LOL

Ok justin,ill go first.i have not seen a picture from brett,that I have considered a quality ds shot.that being said,I have seen several quality ds shots that justin has posted.also I have posted quality di shots.(its just the internet,right)

Beings this is only the internet,and internet feeling really don't count as acuall real life feeling I will add this,the same thing gos for sc/si,brett seems to be way below the curve with the pictures he's posted

pffffttt .... if you can get images like this :



from a Elite 5 DSI ... which is now a discontinued model, in favor of the Elite series with 2d capabilities (for whatever reason) .....

what more do you need ??

Does it really make a $1000-$2000 difference, just to be able to count the number of spines on the fish on your Down Image screen .... or have a pretty finger paint collage of colors (2d) that you need to compare to the DI in order to know what it's showing you ... or have multicolored fish symbols with their "depth" out to the side (when it's not really the depth of the images that's showing, but how far away from the transducer they are :rolleyes: ) ???

I really don't think that you can get more info than what you've got in that shot
