Have owned the 700 for 6 months now and am overall very impressed. Its got all the features you need for a fun camera. 23 different "scenes" of which i only use 3 or 4 are very useful, meaning you dont have to fiddle around with different settings. Just choose the scene you are in, for instance 'nightime' and click away. The video function works well as well and as a budding golfer i have used the camera to take videos of my swing analysing it on the Olympus Master program on my laptop. The design is slick and sexy, the front panel is curved which i think is just for aesthetic reasons, but it feels nice in your palm and the weight of the camera has to be one of its main advantages. It really is the lightest camera I have ever felt of its kind and all my friends are envious of it for that reason.
If I had to choose anything that the Olympus 700 lacked I would say that the menu is a bit outdated and a bit like a mobile phone menu from 10 years ago, but this does not deflect from the simple to use style of the camera.
Overalll I am extremely pleased with my purchase and would recommend to all.
