I have both the Marcum 825 and the Aqua Vu HD 700i. Have had the Marcum now about 6 years, the 700i for one full season. Really like both of them and hard to pick a favourite. Never had any issues touch wood with either so far. Marcum picture can at times be a little grainy, would say Aqua Vu picture is a little better compared to my 6 yr old model. Marcum features for water temp, camera direction etc are great to have. Marcum camera panner is much better than aqua Vu mopod I think. My buddy has the Aqua Vu 715c and it is a great camera as well for the money, in comparison the HD 700i may be a little overrated, the 715c is about just as good under most conditions. Neither of mine work very well in murky water unless fishing the shallows. Prefer the Marcum for use in the boat over the 700i.
