I have the Aqua-Vu SC-100.

The underwater camera is pretty neat, lets you know what's really down there. Fish are not scared of the camera for it looks like a fish. Also shows temperature at camera depth. It proved to me that Fish Symbols on my Lowrance 480 sonar are a joke! Some places the sonar showed fish... didn't see any with the camera... other places sonar showed no fish and the camera showed fish.

The SC-100 works in sunlight without having to use a sun shield. The monitor uses an LCD and not a CRT.

Expensive toy.... If you're buying, I would recommend to buy where you can return if you don't like it. I returned several before I found one that I liked.

Olefin,

I have the same model. Has came in handy, but prior to putting it thru its full paces I found myself in Iraq ;)

I plan on using it for producing underwater video segments for the community. The time I had with the unit was interesting, I am thinking it would be excellent for people who fish clearer bodies of water.

Paul,

Good point about using in clearer water.
I also don't care for using mine in real deep water that requires the light. Seems I see a lot of bubbles that don't show without the light.

Take care and good luck in Iraq!
