Ok about side Imaging, if you ask me i think it is really awesome. But on the other hand really expensive. I would like to try one out just to see how it would work. just from research i thing it would take a while to get used to. The reason being is that for one you are looking out to your side, and it looks like it casts alot of shadows. That would be the most difficult thing to get used to i think.
When i was in the market for a fish finder i was considering getting one of those till i talked to a Lowrance rep. I asked him about the side imaging from humminbird and this is what he told me. He said in short that the technology is not advanced enough right now. He went on to explain that side imaging is great but it is not fast enough at the moment. He said what you are seeing on the screen depending on how fast you are moving could be 100ft behind the boat! well i don't know if that is the truth or not but thats what he had to say about the humminbird. I mean if im going to spend $1200 to $2000 on a fish finder i would at least want it to be accurate right? well i ended up settling with a Lowrance X510C and i love it. Very easy to read and its very sensitive to. If you wanna know anything about that model just ask.
B.T.W. I have no problem with humminbird i think they r a great unit, i just wanted to share that info with you about the side imaging.
