Not at all! I use the Elite 5-HDI to fish for striper, white bass, hybrid, walleye, and crappie and don't seem to have any problems with it. It works great!!

I fish shallow lakes, less than 20 ft deep. The smaller screen may be confusing at first, but I think you'd adjust with use.

Not at all. I've been fishing a 5" screen since 2007. The Elite-5 has great resolution and is very easy to read.

Pioneer Elite LED is a different technology although Sharp owns them. Elite uses full local dimming LED vs Sharp uses full LED but not local dimming. Full local dimming LED is much more expensive but offers a better blacks and generally better picture for 2D. Sony is only other mftr offering this on their top end LED TVs. Their 65" retails for $5500 and the Elite 70 is around $7000, so a significant cost difference compared to a 240hz Sharp 3d 70" at $4000. If you check out the Elite in Best buy you can see the difference in picture quality. Sharp is excellent, but the Elite is better. if you have the money, Elite is the best out there. I have heard other reviewers note that the Elite has more glare than the Sharp, so if you watch in a bright room, you might want to get the Sharp.

I talked to the folks who make Fishmate - they recommended the 4000, which we purchased. Its 4200gph. I wish that I had gotten the 5000.

The Elite-5 DSI does not show the traditional arches most people are familiar with. The down scan imaging (DSI) does show fish and baitfish however. Go to the pages button (top-left-hand button) and push it. Use the arrow buttons to select which screen you want to see. If you want to see fish, select one of the bottom image screens (not the whole screen map). Play with the screens, you will understand when you see. The DSI does a good job showing fish and thermoclines, you do have to learn how to interpret what you are seeing however to be effective. You Tube has some good videos to get you started. Lowrance also has some good videos. The unit works just like the videos. The Elite-5 DSI does not show the traditional arches most people are familiar with.

the two bodies are very very similar. they are functionally the same size, but it's a risk, as I'm not 100% sure the buttons and dials are all in the same spot. I'm trying to remember (it's been a while) but I think the jump from T1i to T2i is basically a better screen, but the same size, and a slightly faster FPS. If your willing to spend this much on a dive housing, it might make more sense to sell the t1i, and buy a t2i, to be 100% sure it works well.

I had bought the pan fish specific model which is only used for smaller fish. I would go to you local sporting goods store or call a bass pro shop.

No mine did not, I would have expected it to since it has down image. That was the only thing that disappointed me with the elite 7 purchace I made. Now I have to buy the hdi transducer seperate.

I have 6'10" Fenwick EliteTech River Runner with the 6925 because all to many times fishing for Trout or Panfish a Large Mouth Bass or a Northern Pike Attack my lure. I have boated 28 inch Northern and 4 pound Bass with the 6925. Trust me the reel drag sings as the fish runs. The 6925 does the job. I have broken rod tips from the frisky Northern's and Fenwick replaced my rod no questions asked. With my experience I would not go smaller than the 6925.

Apparently they have upgraded to what they call "near HD"... 1280x540. I would like to know if anyone has actually seen this on a decent size 1080p screen, and how it looks. Also, can it pass 5.1 sound?

I believe the 7". For the price u can do what I did buy the 9" for bigger fish. Well worth the price on Amazon. Good lord.

Thanks Coconut. I'll check it out in a sec.BTW, I read the review on CNET of the 2270DW, and they said it prints terrible graphics, but is otherwise excellent.So, I called Brother and asked someone there whether there's any difference in graphics quality between the two models. The Brother rep said that the 5370 is better because it has "1200 by 1200 depth per integer".DEPTH PER INTEGER???I asked him whether he meant dots per inch, and he said, "oh yeah...dots per inch. My bad."Yikes.

These are length measurements in centimeters and which gun you get really depends on what you're hunting and what kind of area you're hunting in. You're going to get fish with any of them, but a shorter gun like the 60 or 75 is great for sticking in little holes on the reef and using in lower visibility conditions. A longer gun like the 90, 100, or 110 is perfect for going after some bigger fish in clearer, more open water that you might not be able to get as close to. I went with the 100cm gun and it's been great so far. I don't find it too big to use on the reef & it has a lot of power and range.

Hi there they have been replaced by the newer elite-5 hdi models. We have a few of the 2013 elite-5 dsi's left and are clearing them out. Still brand new with warranty. Thanks

The Elite 5 needs the additional speed wheel and temperature sensor to show boat speed. The optional unit is well worth the price. The Elite 5 will show water temperature and boat speed after the accessory unit is hooked up. The Elite 5 comes with a y harness to plug the speed wheel unit into. A simple plug and play.

HG is the 7.6:1. I prefer the non-HG for all around fishing. In fact, I never use the HG at all.

The Humminbird top of the line is the 1100 series. The 1100 series is basically the same as the 900 series except that the screen is larger on the 1100's. I believe HD means that there are more vertical pixels per inch on the screen, and therefore better resolution on screen.
