I'd hardly call it "stuck." I plan on getting the 828 when it comes down a bit and when I have the extra cash, but for now I'd say that my 707 is just fine. It's a hell of a lot nicer camera than most people have.
I know, I think it's great, and the 717 is pretty much the same thing as far as aqua. is concerned. But I still HATE the shutter lag. I have missed some amazing shots that way.
