I have the Marcum 825 & I love it. The color is surprisingly good down to about 30 - 35 feet. After that depth things start going to shades of green & gray. I am not sure what happens after 50 feet. I guess the water absorbs various color wave lengths & only certain colors get down to depth.
The screen is surprisingly clear & works great even with cold temps. I have had it out in zero degrees and it worked great. (I previously had a Cabelas camera and it seemed like it took a while for the screen to warm up before you could see anything in cold temps.)
The 825 comes with a camera panner, a direction arrow and depth indicator on the screen, which makes it extremely easy to determine which direct the camera is pointing & what elevation is in the water column. I can find my jigs extremely fast. (we used to screw around for hours with the Cabelas & Aquaview brands)
The 825 is a little pricey, but is a hoot to use while fishing. I would highly recommend it.
