Use equote!
Go to MS Color site and use the equote!!
The price I gotten via equote is $619.50 after GST for FX8 plus a 256MB SD,
case & LCD protector.

One different I known of is more power saving on FX8 with the big LCD screen.
Do a search here and you should be able to find more differences.

FX-8 can take 300 ++ shots while
FX-7 can only take 190 ++ shots.

with OIS off
fx8 can take 300 pics
fx7 can take 120 pics

with OIS on - is about half.

fx8 is abit thicker. due to bigger battery
