Best bang for my $ for camera?
« on: Feb 06, 2018, 06:51 AM »
I'm looking at purchasing a camera.  Having a  hard time deciding on 1. I really don't want to spend more than $500. What is everyone using and what are some pros and cons of them? Thanks in advance for the input!
I'll take a BAD day of fishing over a good day at work!

Thanks Cajun. I'm currently running a ice kit for my lowrance elite 5HDI.  I'd like to learn the bottom of the lake and see exactly what I am marking. Kinda use it as a learning tool.

I have an aqua view. Small sized fits in coat pocket. Great tool. Use it a lot. If it gets too cold the screen will go blue occasionally. Usually near the end of the day. Use it from shore , boat, ice.
