Im planning to upgrade my fish finder to one with side imaging in the next couple of months. I was really excited about the new Lowrance hook 2's, but the transducer wont fit. So Im left with the Garmin and Humminbird units to get side imaging. I mainly fish in water under 6', so traditional sonar is next to useless. Im mainly interested in being able to pick up fish off to the side of me.
I have a friend who sponsored by Humminbird and loves his Mega Side Imaging unit. He put some video up on my Facebook page it was totally awesome.
I have to agree that Hummingbird is a good unit. I used two when I was fishing fresh water.

Well, I dont have much to say about the humminbird side imaging, but Ive had a Garmin echomap 74sv now for a few weeks, and Im quite impressed. The side imaging is a game changer in the water I fish (very shallow).
The Garmin is a good unit but I've had little experience with those, It was on my brothers boat years ago and a bottom shot and fish indicator.
