@masseur, those are indeed good quality for low light. I didn't realise the W800 and K750 had a different cmos chip?

If that's true, then I might buy a W800, then flash it back to a K750 and swap the W800 shell for my K750 shell

That will give me the better low light camera, and retain the activity button and K750 lense cover design that I prefer.

it's a nice idea ... but i don't think it will effect the quality ..
coz the K750 & w800 run's different drivers ..
so even if you'll have a CCD chip the quality will be the same as the K750's CMOS

W800 use a cmos censor like K750.
There are no plans to begin using ccd-censor neither for K750 nor W800, this was a roumor that started because of a misunderstaning between eldar from MR and an S//E sales rep when eldar first reviewed the K750 a long time ago. The roumor had it that the K750 would start using ccd-censor around christmas. Eldar has since verified that this was a misunderstanding and it is not going to happen. But roumors die hard and lately the idea of w800 having a ccd-censor has been added to the roumors a few times. This is however not the case.

fair enough, I guess I hadn't read that but its noted now.

interesting how much better the w800 pics are then and in all my comparison testing they are far better in low light and I'm comparing one w800 with 2 k750's

okay, good to put that rumour to rest, so atleast we know what the hardware is. Must be a firmware issue, which means hopefully the R1L replacement will fix it..

we can only hope

Some of those that have flashed w800 firmware on their K750's also mention quality improvements in pictures, despite both firmwares using version 4.4 cameradriver and their k750 still using same hardware. Could indicate that there are other firmwaredifferences regarding camera pictureproccessing other than the driver itself.

hmmm, hopefully SE will correct the K750 firmware then, since they positioned the K750 as a "camera" and the w800 as a "walkman"

yes, otherwise we all have to flash w800 firmwares on our k750's

#masseur

Ebay, search for w800 dummy, or ask your mobile phone shop if they can sell you a w800 dummy.

Masseur,
is that the packaging for Sony projectors I see in your picture? You must be a big Sony supporter eh?
