I'd say darrengf's Vegas experience of the phone pics is spot on, soooooo similar to the probs I have, admittedly I'm not a great photographer but the pics I took indoors last week of my niece on her 1st birthday where awful, just 1 good shot out of a dozen and many blurry yet I held it as still as humanly possible
I have a 3.2 meg digi cam and never take blurry pics.
I'm pleased for anyone who has no camera probs but I can assure you I hold the phone on the silver edge and fingers are nowhere near the back.
Incidently my sister also took pics with her K800 and hers where fine without fiddling with any settings, ah well.

And just to prove my theroy.
1st photo was taken with the phone inside the Venitien in Las Vegas
The 2nd one with the digital camera.
Both on auto, nothing changed or altered.
You can see the difference your self. The phone is blury and colours are wishy washy.
The camera one wasnt.
** Look at the top of the photo, on the camera you can see blue sky, look at the phone one, its more white **

Now pics of when I was out side, The phone Behaves very differently.
These pics are taken at Busch Gardens in Tampa FL, 2 weeks ago.
1st one was the K850i and the 2nd one the Sony Camera.
The pic from both are fantastic, but for me the phone took a much clearer pic even thought the light was slightly different.

So the moral of the story is so far.
Out doors the phone is fine.
Inside its hit and miss.
Now i know that the new firmware should be out for most phones shortly.
Vodfaone, Tim and some Generic customers can update now and the camera version should also have been updated with VF update, so if any one can take pics with the new version of cameras firmware to see if it improves?
I know that new phones shipped from T-mobile uk are also coming with R1AD038 now as well (Info from another forum)

Well, decent pictures here and there, and like you said, hit and miss which I agree from your results.
In my opinion, I never expect a cameraphone to rival the optics and sensory mechanisms of actual digital cameras. A phone is a phone, and a camera is simply an asset of the device. Although companies like Nokia, SE, Samsung, LG, etc. are trying to overcome this, I cannot see anytime soon a cameraphone that can rival a digital camera in terms of picture quality and reproduction taken everywhere. Perhaps it can in the outdoors when lighting isn't a problem, but I am already quite impressed by the K850i's performance indoors.
My standards may be too low, but what the heck, it's a good thing I guess. I've got no complaints about it - only thing I want is the UI to be sped up until all animations are smooth. They did this with the P1i, where the transitions were made so much faster that it was actually usable - there is no reason the K850i can't improve in terms of UI speed. I'd also like for most of the bugs to be fixed, which will be a definite bonus, if not a necessity for most of us here.
Hope to hear some good news from Sony Ericsson the next month.

Just upgraded my VF branded K850i to R1AD038 va the update service.
Everything seems to be ok so far with one exception, it now seems to be ignoring the "default contacts" option. This is currently set to "Phone contacts" but if the sender is in the contacts on my SIM then those details are displayed for incoming calls etc. This was not the same with the previous R1CA029 version i had installed.
I tried a master settings reset but no difference! Anyone else seen this issue?
