Saw / have seen

"Sarah is pregnant".

"Yes, I saw that." / "Yes, I've seen that."

Either version can be used, right? With the difference that the simple past suggests more of a "one-time" thing (like the click of a camera) and the present perfect covers an unspecified period up to now. Is that right?
