My wife uses a 725 SW (seems to be the European version of the
720 SW) and is very pleased with it, but she has the same problems
with sunlight, unless she can shade the display somehow !

So why not put it to test - try them both out on a sunny day?!

Cameras like this ought to have a what in Swedish was called
a sports viewer (those that looked like a WWI aircraft gun sight),
often found on UV camera houses (at least used to be)!
