Fish finders were like abstract art to me, so I bought my MarCum LX-9 because it had a camera that displayed the picture with the data and blobs of colors at the same time. That way, when I'm ice fishing and see color blobs that I don't know what they are, I'll lower the camera down and look at a real picture. One time I saw, well it's hard to describe and I didn't know what it was, so I lowered my camera down and saw it was a tree underwater with fish swimming in and out of it. Other times, it helps me understand bottom features. It takes the guessing out of it. I've been trolling with my friends and many times I've wanted to stop to lower my camera down, but the ship captain kept trolling. After a while, I got to where I can identify half of what I see on the fish finder without the camera, but I'm glad I have that feature.
