I can only repeat what I already said in my post which you do not include in your quote. Your reasoning only makes sense if the amount of light coming from the PRS-700 is at the sensitivity threshold of the camera, and if that coming from the PRS-505 is well above the threshold. Looking, at the posted pictures, this is not the case. There was ample and uniform ambient lighting for the shots. We are looking at face-on, side-by-side images taken with one shot, i.e. we are making a relative comparison using one photo, and all things were equal as far as the camera was concerned. I am not now comparing what the eye sees and what the camera sees, just what the camera sees.
In fact, since your post made me think about this more, I am now quite convinced that the difference in the 700 and 505 that the original photos show is real and not an artificial one.

I've been to the Sony store 3 times now, and yes, it looks exactly like all of the pictures on here. I was so psyced for the 700, and it is a real dissapointment, since I can't see myself wanting to ever buy something that is so inferior to LAST gen's model.
