I did look at the F710 - it has a wider screen and longer optical zoom
though I couldn't see much else to warrant the extra dough. There is also
the F810 now as well, but frankly for underwater where there is a reasonable
possibility of the camera not making it back (and given that I'm a snapper
not a photographer) I thought he cheaper F700 the ideal choice!
