I didn't realize they already had a 700 series out - but I have the 620 and LOVE it! And GRRRR I just checked out Costco.com to see if they had info on the 700 and they have the 620 for $215 - I'm pretty sure I paid $350 in Feb, and that was the cheapest I could find it. Anyway, looking at the specs, the only thing that really seems better to me is the 2x more optical zoom - and 2 less batteries would make it a little lighter. It also has a bigger LCD, though it doesn't swivel. In my opinion, for the price difference, I think I'd stick with the A620. HTH
