My understanding of the 700's metering system was that it
did NOT display the user-selected speed in the viewfinder - only
the suggested speed. You have to take your eye away from the viewfinder
to see what you have set. If this is true, it is not a "match-diode"
camera. For it to be, you have to be able to see BOTH in the viewfinder.
I won't argue that one can get to know their camera well enough, or
take certain kinds of pictures, etc., such that this is no
handicap. If I'm wrong about what I've said, I apologize. My info
comes from a review of the camera and from a friend who has one.
