The Marcum rep at the show said the vendors don't have the units yet but you can order them and shop prices at the show. those that have previously preordered will begin shipping next week.He also said if you order at the show it should be shipped and delivered by christmas.

That's disappointing. Wasn't it first projected for mid-Nov, and now its Xmas?

I think I'll hold out this year. Not wanting to splurge that much on that. Prob won't increase my catch any more then my VX-1. Maybe next year, as I'd really like to see one in person before buying it. And if I won't be getting it till Jan at the earliest, then I'm more then willing to wait til next year and see if there are any wrinkles to iron out first.

The reason for the hold back was to get the bugs out and be sure it's ready for market, rather have that than them selling units with bugs... It will be well worth the wait....

+1 i totally agree and am of the mind to think id rather have them hold out a little to make sure that a quality product is out than to release a buggy one and have a lot of return issues. I left the show looking forward to receiving it.

I have to add that they do have one at the show at the Marcum booth that you can see and play with. Let me just say its awesome!!!! I cant wait to see what it can do on the ice. The rep walked me thru the machine saying what it can do and i was impressed and it has more features than i thought it did. And its certainly a cross unit that will find its home in soft water just as easy as it will on hard water. They hit a homerun in my opinion.

I went through the demo at the show. I can confirm the awesomeness. I've watched the videos, but in-person this unit is amazing. Crisp, clear, multiple viewing options and big display make it a winner. I will own one.

At first I was very excited for the LX7, but after seeing it at the booth in person, the demo mode still doesn't convince me 100%. The flasher lines seem laggy and not as smooth as a traditional flasher. I love that the features and views are seemingly endless, and the mode where it showed fish arcs like an open water display (that probably is what it was-open water mode) was awesome.

But I still want to see one on ice in real conditions. Simply because the price tag is so high. I don't doubt the unit is likely worth it, but I want to see it in person in action before spending 700 bones on it.

it does look like a good unit but after talking with the rep at the show better to hold off as of right now. They are not out yet because they are not done with the final touches. They have eliminated the screen heater. Also they are still trying to make the feature on the dial so that it uses the whole dial work. Ex. if you are fishing in 22 feet. The last mark on the dial would be 22 ft instead 40 because of having your 20/40/60/ect foot scale as to utilize the whole dial. They have not perfected this feature as of yet. Still things to be worked out yet. Also the rep said about 10 hr of batt. life should be expected from this unit so if you get one buy an extra 9 amp hour batt. All in all though it look like a nice unit loaded with a lot of usefull features. I do like the fact that they are not sending out an incomplete product that will need upgrading or fixing. good buis. on there part.
