Hi,
A friend of mine had bought the Atlantis last year. This is the big model and not the JR unit that is out this year. Anyway he seems to like it, but he had trouble with the camera leaking water the first time. The second time he had a monitor problem and had that switched out. Now he is using it and really enjoys it very much. Seems to be working out and all is fine. I have played with various models of cameras including this one, ovs, aqua vu and am seriously looking at this one for myself in the JR model. I just until 1 week ago took back my Aqua Series. I had there Z model to start and switched to the MC series and again went back to the Z model. The last unit that I had had a cable problem shorting out in the camera. So I am without one again. Last year I had 3 units of the JR burn up on me when they first came out. They later had a fix for that with the new plastic ring to prevent shorting. Where ever you get your camera, make sure that there is the possibility that you can take it back if it doesnt work out. Several lakes here after using them at night either does not work well because of water clarity or you get a complete white out with them.I really like to use the camera. It is a definitely a educational tool that can make you a better fisherman. You will learn all kinds of neat information on the underwater that you would never even know. Out ice fishing it has helped me find the fish that my FL-8 wouldnt even pick up. I had eyes right on the bottom that where sitting there and not moving at all. With the camera I seen them, on the FL-8 I did not detect them.I am also in the market for a camera. One that works, has a clear picture that is adjustable for sharpness and contrast and a 100 length cord with kevlar or some means of strength. I am going to try out the Seaview next week after using an ovs this past one. Good thing for friends. I also am going to try the Seaview Camera. Has anyone tried one. They list for the 50' model of $219.00 without monitor which runs about 40.00.

I just heard from a local store that they have received some of the JR models back from shorts going into the monitor area. They think that the people might be hooking them up wrong and shorting them out.
