You guys are talking over my head, I like Garmin for me, that's the point, they should fit you. Check them all out before you buy.

The DI images you are getting from your SI units are much less detailed and clear than a true DI (859) will give.

YES, MY 859 DI ,I SOMETIMES RUN BESIDE MY 998 SET ON DI AND THE 859 WILL SHOW A MUCH BETTER PIC,SOMETIMES THE 998 DI IS GOOD BUT IT IS NOT LIKE TRUE DI,THE 998 IS TAKING 2 SLANTED PIZZER AND COMPUTING THEM TOGETHER ,WHEREAS THE 859 STRAIGHT DOWN PIZZER GIVES U A MUCH BETTER PIC.WHEN I GO OVER A BRUSH PILE I DO NOT STOP IF THE DI DO NOT SHOW FISH IN IT AND USUALLY NOW I CAN TELL IF THEY ARE SMALL CRAPPIES OR NOT,BUT MOST OF THE TIME I WILL CHECK TO VERIFY MY INTERPRETATION

got a few more questions does the 859di use the standard sd card or the mini ?.... Also does it have 2 d sonar and a map?.... What is the difference between a 859di and a 859ci di ?

The correct model name is 859ci HD DI Combo ...
Humminbird | 859ci HD DI Combo
Some advertise the incorrect model name ...HB has no control on how dealers label their advertisement model ... Or I should say HB chooses not to spend the resources to double check all dealers and how they label the products ...
"8" (as the first digit) stands for 7" inch display size series ...
"5" (as the second digit) stands for non-si ...
"9" (as the last digit) stands for year series 2014-2015
"c" stands for color display ...
"i" stands for internal GPS antenna ...
"HD" stands for LED backlighting ...
"Combo" stands for chartplotting/sonar Combo ...

Vic,is correct.But that doesn't mean that the humminbird si units are not capable of producing quality di.They just lack the downward looking piezo. By rotating an si transducer.I was able to obtain di , quality that I believe is very close to the humminbird onix (which has the best di of all.compared to the Garmin and Lowrance units).

So,answering your question about seeing fish.All of the units with a dedicated down looking piezo would produce a picture similar to this one,showing the crappie and other fish along with structure.
