> [wanted] K850 VGA video recording
Bookmark topic
I guess it isn't but they've been debating that SE has lacking in as the front runner of technology in most if not all their phones; with the K850i & Z750i/a marginally.
However, I don't think now that the K850i is capable of VGA recording; at least not with current firmware - and not intended by
now or ever. No matter how hard we all petition.
But I think its possible via modding that it "MAY" be possible. However this may also be a moot point if SE plans to ramp up development of products and their releases.

I don't believe the K850 can adequately run vga video, otherwise they would have left it in. We'll just have to wait and see what the next K has to offer.

I think K850i has the processor strong enough for VGA recording but
gives phone video recording capability at the max size that phone's screen can display, as meant to be recorded by phone and stay on it.
On the other hand... If you want a good video recording there are always Sony's videocameras.

Or the N95 - which already has what this tread is asking for
@Max PLEASE stop hijacking this tread with your touchscreen stuff ! Nokia (the S60) rule the smart phone market for a reason (or 2), with or without your 'expert' blessing/understanding
. Should the 850i have had 640x480 video recording, would have been a very nice device indeed, but then again what would one expect from SE? I am surprised they gave it the features it already got.

Nokia rule the smartphone market for one reason; most of their mid to high end phones have symbian, so therefore many people who buy symbian Nokias will never actually use the smartphone features: they are not buying the phone for it's smartphone features but for it's style or because it's what was offered to them on contract. Whereas people who buy SE symbians are predominately dedicated smartphone users.
I'll stop hijacking this thread when people stop comparing the K850 to Nokia. This thread is about wanting vga video in SE, not in Nokia. BTW, the VGA video in N95 is better than K850 undoubtedly, but it's still no where near the quality of a useable DV handycam. The output is still poorly pixelated on movement and detail (particularly foliage), colour is as bad as the still camera, and tbh no single camera phone on the market yet has video suitable for displaying on a TV screen. The N95 cmos sensor doesn't do the vga resolution justice at all imho.
I'm happy for SE not to waste expense on features such as video until cmos sensors for phones have progressed a buit further in quality.

Pixelated? Have you really seen a N95 video on a monitor/tv?

The pixelation I mention is in reference to viewing the video on a computer screen. If you can't see that you are blind.
And based on the quality of the output, and my experience with similiar quality video from other digital cameras I have owned, I deduce that the quality on a tv monitor will be poor. TV Out can't improve on the basic video produced by the camera.
To my way of thinking, and the main point I was making, is that while SE may be lagging behind Nokia in video recording, both their efforts are gimmicks and not truly mature features. You may as well argue about which had the better camera, the SE T610 or the Nokia 6220; The SE was technically better, but both cameras were just toys, ie gimmicks, not worthy of being considered a Digicam.
Likewise, I would never use the slightly better video of the N95 as a reason to buy the N95 over the K850. As far as I'm concerned neither of these handsets can be considered as having useful video recording.

Oh really... It sounds like you're discussing whether the video captured by N95 is pixelated on a computer / TV screen. But hey, maybe it's just me......
Still N95 has no business in this thread. It's about K850.
