Can anyone please post some more low-light/night photos of food, in macro mode, preferably on white plates? I have a K850i with xenon, and the flash completely over-exposes the photo because of the white dinner plates reflecting light.

@mode: Your photo above with a little bit of the white plate showing doesn't look too bad. Got anymore?

Welcome to Esato There are some food on a white plate macro examples in the first post on this thread. Here's another one



From my observation, I've always felt quite edgy when taking macro shots on white backgrounds due to the same concern you have since the LED flash on W995 is quite powerful. But it seems like there's some sort of a flash intensity control mechanism that wouldn't likely overexpose such shots meaning it only emits as much light needed for its distance from the subject

@mode: thanks for the photo, it tells me that there's still a big gap between camera phones and real cameras in terms of using the flash on white objects. Your photo looks to be less 'flashed out' than what I normally get probably because your flash isn't as powerful as my xenon. The downside of the W995's LED flash is taking photos in a pitch black room (e.g. nightclub) ... would you be able to take a photo in a pitch black room for me? Similar to the one you had in your computer room at home, but needs to be 100% dark.

There are a lot of great photos taken, but all the photos are in the daylight - I can't pick any difference between what I would normally take during the day against 5MP photos with my K850i ... it's time for me to upgrade my phone (mobile contract expiring) but it's hard for me to justify getting the W995 when my K850i performs just as well.

(also @mode: did I see a photo of Tesco in your previous posts?! which one was that, near Taiping?)

Here's two photos from my K850 (I grabbed them from my facebook so they were automatically resized). I know that they look good when resized smaller, but I think they are very comparable to some of the W995 ones up here ... SHOULD I UPGRADE TO THE W995 ??!

I Don't know!

@planks
Thanks mate although I made some comparison shots between C905 and W995 a little earlier and found that C905 is superior (in sharpness, also noise-wise), but I think W995 could come really close or even match it if the people at SE would put some effort in the post processing algorithm because it really does seem they're purposely making it inferior so as not to kill the Cybershot market IMO.

@kickling
That was Tesco Ampang Anyway, eventhough I've never owned a Xenon flash phone, I've always felt once you go Xenon, you can never go back, so probably C901 is the better choice for you. And of course, not even a 12mp cam phone can beat a good 5mp digicam IMO but this doesn't necessarily apply in every case. Here's a comparison shot between W995 and a Canon Ixus 10mp digicam. I don't know what the hell is wrong with the digicam but as you can see, it's crap compared to W995. I thought it was the camera lense at first and so I wiped it clean but the pics still turn out this way which shouldn't happen for a point and shoot. Weird, first W995 beat the crap out of Innov8, now this...it's getting quite ridiculous really

@mode . Thanks for the tips ... I don't like the shape of the C905 because of the weird lump on the back of it, but in terms of technical specifications, it is what I want. The W995 is what I want feature-wise though (wifi, GPS, expandable memory) as opposed to the C901 which lacks all that stuff to some degree.

I wish the C905 was inside the body of the W995! And you're right, SE make the W series worse in the camera department to market it more as a Music phone ... and they make the C/K series the opposite. SE make money on two products instead of making one magical phone!

Thanks for all your help anyway!

@kickling
No worries To sum it up, sensor-wise, W995 is better than K850 but slightly inferior to C905. It's biggest problem is lack of Xenon though I've taken many wonderful low light and party shots without it, comparable to standalone digicams. Never taken clubbing pics though and I doubt it will perform as good as K850

Wow look very nice the pics.
was in doubt about buying a cell between a c905 and W995 but now I have no more doubt.
W995 is wonderful and the cam better than c905.
w995 winner rules!!!
i love w995
