If you look at the camera front on:
http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/cano...s/SD700_3q.jpg
There are two screws on the right (seen in picture) (easy)
One screw on bottom (easy)
Three latch tabs along inside top of back cover - they reach under
front cover and catch on nubs on the front cover.
My problem is the nice tight looking seam along the left. I have the
whole face cover loose and ready to come off but somehow the leftmost
seam is still locked tight and I cannot find another screw that seems
to be involved.
