'when the light's not so good, capture lag jumps to an unacceptably high 2.2 seconds; typical shot-to-shot time is a seriously sluggish 3.3 seconds, which jumps to a snailish 4 seconds with flash.'
'The placement of this jack on the bottom of the camera is unfortunate because users will have to rest the S700 on its front or back in order to plug it into a television, printer, or computer.'
'Unlike most ultra zooms, the S700 is hardly expandable at all.'
'image stabilization, a decent movie mode, long battery'
'digital image stabilization and an amazing sensitivity range of 50 to 4000 ISO'
'lack of sharp focus.'
'manually enabled popup flash is fairly weak - maximum flash range (in auto ISO mode) is just short of 15 feet; not very impressive for a camera with a 10X zoom.'
'the DSC-F707 lacks important prosumer features, like adjustable contrast and color saturation, a histogram, and even a black-and-white mode (an odd oversight).'
'Some may find the F707 cumbersome as the construction does not lend itself to point-and-snap photography.'
'Unfortunately, the documentation is often inaccurate and misleading, so learning to use the camera is more difficult than it should be.'
