Pixel increase isn't linear, it's compound.

To double to quality of a 2mp cam you'd need to go to 8mp

To double to quality of a 0.6 you only need to go to 2.4mp

Hence why the jump between 0.6 to 2mp is a vast increase, whereas the 2 to 3.2 isn't anywhere near as noticable, although it IS noticable when printed. Something which you aren't comparing.

You won't notice any "WOW" when you compare the N73 or N93 either as they're still only 3.2!

Just a quick question...when i go to take a pic, and press the cam button halfway down, a red light emit's from the flash then goes when the autofocus sounds...anybody know what this is? is it some sort of sensor?

thank god for that..thought there was something wrong with the phone...btw..have to say, am quite impressed with the Photomate option, showing you what the different camera modes are used for and how to get the best out of them...quality.

Would the red light not be red-eye reduction? seems to help, normal red eye reduction i've seen in the past is usually a quick flash before the main flash, which does result in red eye reduction, 'cos by that point most folk have their eye half shut to blink! lol

I have compared my K800i with my K750i. All settings in auto in both phones.

K800i (3,2mp)



K750i (2mp)

The red LED is for autofocus, not anti-red eye (which, when enabled, will flash a bit before taking the shot like any 'proper' cam). It only comes on in low light, and when autofocus is on.

The K800 has a variety of preset modes and the post-image processing adjusts a number of things, including sharpness and colour. So, using auto can result in shots that can prove disappointing. Take a landscape shot in auto and the focus can be out, so you select landscape instead - which also enables the image stabiliser (this will crop the image slightly, but gets a sharp picture every time).

Some people will hate the need to plan ahead, but the K800 is trying to be a proper camera! For simple point and shoot, a W810 is probably just as good because 3.2 isn't a massive increase over 2 megapixel. I'm so glad someone has mentioned the need to double both X and Y resolution (i.e. quadruple) the pixel count to really improve the quality.

The real improvements on the K800 aren't the extra pixels but a proper flash, image stabilisation, increased speed and the awesome BestPic mode. I've got a N80 and a pre-release N73 and they can't boast any of these things.

how did you get the N73 and does the battery last as long as the K800

Here's a pic I took the other day in an O2 UK store.



I think whilst the colour reproduction may be more vibrant on the K750i than the K800, there is significantly less noise on the K800. Even in good lighting such as this my old K750i would still have noticable noise lines in the darkest areas.
