    yep yep, comes with a lighter casing than sz740x due to the use of carbon fiber. Additionally you will also get LED backlighting as opposed to the regular LCD

    Sonystyle also has sz680ND for 1999, I was wondering why its expensive than sz780 premium which is at 1631. Which one is newer model, 680 or 780?

    The 780 is newer. I think the 680 is more expensive due to its 'Charcoal Black Carbon Fiber Casing' and stereo bluetooth.

    So does that mean the 680 has a different color compared to the 780?

    I'm not sure, no matter what they both look good ;) . And, if you wanted to buy an SZ680, there was a $500 off coupon that expired yesterday.
