Interesting -- I'm finding the 700 is perfectly fine indoors. I also find that the pictures people have posted haven't done justice to the clarity of the 700 screen. Yes, it's not as brightly crisp as the 505, but it's essentially the same as the 500, only with the touchscreen (which is what is making the difference) the increased functionality is worth it to me.
If a person has used the 505, I can understand finding the different appearance of the 700 to be hard to cope with, but I've read the 500 for a year and a half now and find the 700 is just as easy to read.
As for the glare issue, yes the 700 screen has more glare than either the 500 or the 505. But the damned SONY machined into the aluminum on the 500 kept reflecting light into my eyes and distracting me from the 500 so I was always angling that for least distraction and find no difference with the 700. It's not as if I find it hard to get an angle with no glare.
