The camera was focused on the 505, and at that range, of course everything beyond a very narrow depth of field will be out of focus, including the entire world. Are you saying that's Sony's fault? 
Perhaps you could simply turn off the camera's flash and take a picture of each one separately, completely in focus, the only thing in the picture and then post those two pictures so that we can see each reader clearly. Taking side-by-side pictures with a point-and-shoot camera isn't really a very good indicator of anything. |
I was skeptical as well, untilI went to a Sony store and saw it for myself. The difference was instantly noticeable. I would never buy a 700, given that I've seen what the 505 looks like, or even the kindle. The 700's screen is simply not nearly as enjoyable to read.
Also, I'd like to note that I don't own a reader yet, so I had no "bias" going in. They had the 505, and the 700 next to eachother. having only seen the kindle before, I thought the 700 screen was terrible compared to either the 505, or the kindle.
It was dull, fuzzy, and the text was muc harder to read. I could see myself getting eye strain very easily using the 700 screen. The lights and touchsceen are awesome, but the most important thing for me in a "reader" is how easy and enjoyable it is to "read".
