I got one, was definitely a good investment. Clear picture and the battery seems to last a long time. I've mentioned this before but its turned a few days where i would have caught 1 or 2 fish into 10-12 fish days. Can watch how the fish react and see just how many are down there. I noticed they're only $300 now as well, in my opinion a lot more useful than a fish finder when ice fishing. I've used a few aquaviews and i like my Marcum better.

the vs 250 is good for the price, I would say better then the low end aqua vu due to a few more features. The downsides are that the infrared lighting is pretty much useless at night as all you see is sediment floating around, also the cord tends to get frozen and hard to manipulate at extreme temps. Mine stopped working last year, and was replaced no questions asked with the reciept of purchase.

Default Seems like most people are happy with the Marcum Cameras

Default Marcum prices

After a reading a few threads ive been convinced that a marcum is the way to go. Does anyone know what the prices are and where to buy? I'd like to buy a 460 or 560 but price could put me back to a 250 or 380.

I went to the outdoor wholsale place & to my suprise they had the Aqua Vu & Marcum cameras in.

I saw the Aqua-Vu Quad 4x4 pluged in & thought it looked pretty good, then they pluged in a Marcum! What a difference in picture quality! Marcum is far superior!!
