These will be separated in two posts. Today I did some comparative screenshots of a tree using the DownVu/ClearVu from the GT50. GT51, GT52, GT22, CV22 and Lowrance LSS1 on Gen1. I tried to make each pass exactly the same. That is near impossible to do. Even though I used landmarks to orient the pass often I could see differences on the 2d, depth, etc. Only a couple of feet would make a lot of difference. Is this an apples to apples comparison. Nearly, but not. I made several passes with each transducer/frequency combination. Then I cherry picked the best screenshot from each. The 2d is shown beside the down sonar so you can judge just how comparable the ClearVu is. If the look of the 2d is different, if the depth was different, then the pass was slightly different. Even with all the excuses I am making, I still think this presents a fair enough comparison to judge differences as to detail capability. I used default settings and fixed range. The fixed range is essential for making comparisons. On the Lowrance I did not have a default contrast. So I used my subjective judgment and figured that 65 on the Lowrance looked most like the Garmin default. Future tests are probably not an option as our water is coming up about one foot per day. Changes in depth definitely make later comparisons to these screenshots not apples to apples. I also had to resize the Garmin shots as they were much larger than the LSS. Resizing these to a smaller size caused the loss of some detail on the Garmin shots.
