I am currently shopping around and have noticed a lot of places have quit carring Aqua-vu and are now carring Alantis what s the differance? which one is better and will give the best features. I.E. temp depth camera direction ect.
I see that Atlantis has a color camera now has anyone delt with it or herd of anyone who has?

I am not worried about price I just want the best camera for our waters.

The more expesive it is the longer it will take me to save up, but I would rather wait and get the best camera then get one that I will not be happy with now.

Hi Jim,

I haven't used the Atlantis before, but I can tell you that Aqua-Vu is very good, and they have made some improvements over the years that make a nice product.

I would stay away from any type of color camera. They work "ok" out in the salt or in a very clear lake, but once you use the camera on a lake with a lot of plankton, turbid water, etc. you will lose clarity. Black and white offers better contrast between objects and will not bleach out like color will. Remember that the deeper you go beneath the water's surface, the more color wavelengths are filtered out. At times, you may not see anything but a one-color tint on a color camera.

If possible, take out both types of cameras and see which one you like best...

P.S. get the longest camera cord you can! 60 feet is usually not enough!!!

Jim, the Sportsman Show is coming up.  I haven't been to one in many years but that might be a good place to look for info and comparisons of cameras.

4 hours Jim?
Once you got it out of the bathtub with the sunkin rubber duckies how much longer did it take once on the lake?
