Aqua VU Scout vs Marcum VS 305

[dwag70]

I need to pick the brain of the smart people on this forum. I have never owed a camera and was wondering which of these two would be the best I am trying to stay at the low end on the models Does any one have either of these and what made the deciesion to go with one over the other. And what is the deal with low light I have read alot about these cameras not working in low light... Does that mean it is useless in low light or the area that is viewable is just dramticlly reduced I am new to the camera thing and dont know which way to go I have visited both web sites but want real world views of these products

I don't have any knowledge of the Marcum 305, but I bought the Scout recently and like it alot (for the money). To answer your question about low light viewing...In pitch dark, fairly clear water, expect to see 1.5-2 feet, since I mainly use mine to locate structure and not so much to view my bait while fishing, I'm ok with less night viewing. During daylight, it'll do a nice job for you.

Take a look at the Marcum OVS 400. It's last years model for a good price. An excellent camera for the money.
