I agree with this comment. I went to the Sony store and looked at both the 505 and the 700 and was disappointed by the 700. I found the 505 screen crisp and clear even in the somewhat dim "mood lighting" of the store. The 700 on the other hand seemed less crisp and almost a little blury due (I believe) to the touch screen film on top. And no - fingerprints were not the issue. The screen was just (to me) less readable in almost all lighting conditions and I wasn't too impressed by the lighting system. Also the sales rep told me they went to plastic casing on the 700 to save manufacturing cost so again I felt the 505 was the better product even though it does not have all the features and memory of the 700. Just my 2-cents.
