I think I bought one probably six years back and used it for about a month. Its is a useful tool there is no doubt about it, but I think the color graph would do much more for your fishing than the camera. I actually just sold my aqua vu because I havent used it in years. If you take the time to learn what your graph is telling you you'd find yourself dropping the camera down with less frequency than it is worth.

I use one a few times a year when I am looking at new water. I will usually scope an area out with structurescan, and then go back and look at the spots that looked good. It is an invaluable tool for understanding what is going on on the bottom. Just don't buy one expecting to go out and find fish and catch them. They never bite when the cam is in the water.
Best advice: AquaView is the only one worth getting. Get the 100 foot cord, not the 50. You may think you will never need more than 50 feet, but when the boat is drifting, it becomes a 35 foot cord real fast. Also, first thing to do if you get one is replace the nuts that hold the fin and weight with some really good lock nuts. The factory ones will loosen over time and you will loose the fin and weight.
Side Imaging and Structure Scan units trump the camera any day of the week! I would spend your money on one of those units before the camera.
I plan on just getting a budget model, the FISHTV7
It's only $159 does any one have this model?
It's blk/wht but has 100; ft of cord!

Seriously though save your money, you will be able to find a good used SI unit, for cheaper in the next year.

exactly what are your qualifications for making this statement?

Pat you might have your head up you arse but SI stands for side imaging which is the hummingbird unit, SS is structure scan and that is the lowrance unit. We are thinking budget here and since the hummingbird was out first and the price is less expensive it would make more sense for him to get the SI (Hummingbird). He should be able to find one of these for a little less dough.
