Feature:
No harmonizer. I would be useful for a keyboard in this price range to ahve one. Especially for people who sing and play at the same time. Digiscore is also useful and practical because it not only helps you how to read music, it also helps you to add more songs to your repertoire. the more songs you play, the more diversified uour performance becomes.

Quality:
Cometically, I think it has quite an attractive design. Qualitywise, as far as material it is made of I think made my point in the beginning of this review in the sound department. I would rather have an alternative keyboard for "on the road jobs". It will last quite long if you put a plastic cover over it to keep the dust from lodging under the keys, if you don't let it fall and if you don't play the keyboard with the volume too high.

Value:
I think it should be much cheaper. The quality of the electronic components and the power of the internal amplifier do not justify the price that this keyboard is available at. This applies not only to the psrs700 but also to the psrs900, which cost €1000 and €1650 respectively.

Desirability:
Aesthecially it would be a good asset to may music even if I did'nt know how to play.

Sound:
Sound is almost perfect. This keyboard would be more useful in at home music sessions. wouldn't advise anyone to use it in a band. it is too delicate.

Ease of Use:
Very easy to use. Manual is very clear and concise. It is a lot of fun to play.

Support:
As far as technical assistance is concerned, I have no complaints. Very accessible and fast.

Overall:
I think the biggest downsides of this keyboard are: 1) no harmonizer, 2) the LCD is blue instead of being in colour and the internal amplifier power which should be 20W +20W instead of 12W+12W.

"If you don't want to go over 1 grand it's still a good choice, however consider the GW-8 as well, and if you want to go over 1 g"

Feature:
Very Good editing features, screen is great, however under certain light conditions is not that readable, comparing with screen color found in psr-s900. usb to device feature is great(welcome pen drives), my PA500 doesn't have one and cost 50% more. LAN connector is an amazing feature, you can even hook up a wireless adapter on it. Multipads are pretty good,

Quality:
looks and seems plastic, and it's plastic, however keybed is great. much better than my other keyboards. yamaha is highly reliable. very lightweight.

Value:
I think this should be cheaper. I ended buying the PSR-s900(big mistake) which did cost me 700 hundred more, not worth it, I have a wonderful voice, don't really need any harmony function. just a few voices extra and a few SA voices for 7 hundred, come on yamaha. PSR-S700 is overpriced as PSR-S900 is overpriced as well. Competition is the key to success. My PA500 blows up both in every aspect but piano sounds and USB to device feature.

Desirability:
Looks stylish and good looking, hard to handle it for gigging sessions.

Sound:
Great sounds, megavoices are great, unfortunately very limited selection of live and sweet voices, just a few voices within each category, styles are good, but after purchasing my korg PA500, I think won't be using styles on my psr-s700 anymore. Do I need to say more?. Piano sounds(acoustic and EP) are as usual great much better than my other keyboards PA500 and GW-8 for example. no SA(super articulation) voices as psr-s900 has some.

Ease of Use:
Pretty easy to use, large screen helps a lot, buttons all around the screen couldn't be easier. easy to tweak voices and add effects.

Support:
yamaha arranges have the best support in industry.and lot of fan sites support psr styles. Easy to find commercial and free styles for it.

Overall:
I'm satisfied, I wish yamaha follow korg pa series steps, korg continuously release updates to their OS and instruments(voices) as well. With yamaha you better get use to it with what you got, because this is all you see(updates from factory) for their lifecycle. yamaha mostly only support their high end line. these PSR-S700/S900 should be definitely cheaper.
