I just purchased the camera.I was looking at the c-720 when i found the "discontinued" 700....with 10x zoom versus the 8x it was an easy choice and the price difference was substantial.
I have not had it long enuff to form a full opinion but i have had none of the "hot pixel " problems and it is very customisable with the manual modes.so far i am happy.
Problems:
The only thing that i didnt like was that i had a 3x tele lens that i paid over 200 for and i could not use it with out buying two adapters from olympus....but being the creative person i am i rectified this by using a 59 cent lens cap , an exacto knife and a little dab of two part epoxy.
i now have a tele lens that snaps onand off in under a second and is much more steady then the barrel adapter.
