I note it is an Elite 5X ( not showing HdI or HDS ) does this unit have down scan imaging overlay or is it strickly broad band souning unit?

It just pings a signal. It shows the bottom contour & fish images! Don't think it has an overlay.

No does not have down scan imaging overlay. But it works great and my husband loves it!

It does not come standars on the HD DI model. They do have one with side imaging so you have to make sure that it specifies that it is there. Most likely the model you are inquiring about is just the high definition model and possibly not even has the down imaging either. It is the base unit. Hope it helps.

At 3200 and higher iso I belive it has some banding issues. I didn't go that high very often, so I never noticed it myself.

The one I bought has hardware raid. I have 4 * 1tb drives installed configured as RAID 5.

I baught one of these. The first thing thry did was send the wrong unit (model) Only after a great deal of hell-raising did they agree to send the one I wanted.. the first one did not have the gps function. it did have the 3d imaging but I would not call it 'side imaging'. the replacement unit they sent had the gps function (for which I had to purchase software) and did not have the 3d imaging feature. My advice to you .... be very sure before you order.

Hi Titus. I have the Looxcie HD and the video is 1080 instead of 720 and it's wx resistant. The shape is better for what I wanted too. . . .

I never had the original, but the image quality is very very close to that of my 5DmkIII's. I have only used it in raw, not jpg, but I am blown away with the quality both at the base and at higher ISO's

According to the MP NAvigator software that comes with it you can do a Duplex batch scan. I've never actually done it, but it appears to put it all together.

No - unfortunately not do duplex scanning. I assumed it did when I purchased it. I should have been as smart as you to ask.It is a great all-in-one for everything else, but just lacks that one feature.

I think copying was a feature this unit does. Anything that scans of course can copy the image. I would read the product description for sure and reference the cannon website if you're unsure about purchasing this unit. I ended up buying this locally, as first shipment was lost, and I really don't use it, my girlfriend does and it serves her purpose well. It was a bit involved to set up, not super long, but since we have a home network its slightly more involved than just plugging it in. This unit was larger than I expected in person so make sure you have some space. Very nice sleek look and so far has worked like a charm. Good luck to you!

If you bought the same unit I did the 83/200 didn't provide the downscan and HDI promised. Had to buy the HDI transducer after the fact. I called Lowrance and asked them about this. The guy I talked to said some people don't want the HDI downscan feature of the unit. I said really? Why would you buy an HDI finder if you didn't really want it? Anyway, no. Hook up the new transponder to your unit and keep the old one if you plan on adding another finder to the bow on a trowling motor etc... I'm thinking of selling the 83/200 on e-bay or my local shopper for the ice fisherman. The angle of the transducer is also important. need to play with it a bit. great unit, enjoy!

I've seen no IR. I run it in movie mode only. Other modes may react differently.I use the pixel shifting feature, as well. As such, I don't use "just scan" (which turns off pixel shifting), but instead use 16:9.

At an estimated 200 dpi and up (it doesn't actually let you know how high it goes, another limitation as far as I'm concerned), it actually scans at a moderate rate, not too fast and not too slow. Trouble is, I've relied on it for for crisp scans at 200 dpi and up, and it just doesn't do it very well. It wouldn't bother me if the sources were not the greatest resolution to start with, but they are, and the scanner just doesn't do them justice even at the highest resolution.

Yes, Cabelas had this same combo, HDS-8 with structure scan. The only difference is that they wanted way more money for it.

The unit does not have an internal HD. It's a digital channel selector (television off air) for local stations.

I just picked one up from BB today, and the included manual isn't much more helpful. According to the manual, it is going to be up to the individual production of discs as far as what you'll be able to get from components. IF the protection is enabled, without HDMI you will only be able to view 480i or 480p. 720p or 1080i, either through HD DVD or upconverted SD DVD would/could be blocked. Hope this helps. Like I said, I have the unit and I'm watching it now with SD DVDs until tomorrow, and the upconversion is MUCH better than my previous Toshiba DVD upconversion player. Star Wars III was absolutely fantastic (picture wise. Unfortunately this unit cannot yet "upconvert" poor scripts, but I digress). If anyone wants to ask anymore questions, I'll be picking up a couple HD DVDs tomorrow (Tuesday 4/18) as well as getting some from Netflix, so I'll have plenty of review material.
