> K850i camera vs G800
Bookmark topic
Hi everyone. Newbie here, just wanted to say I have had problems with my K850, and since updating to the new firmware 037 tonight. WOW, what a difference with the camera. Before, my K790 was better, now since the update, I finally feel like i have my camera back!

Like everyone I have an opinion of my own. I like my K850i more than my previous N95 or my wife's N95 8Gb.

This tread is not about the N95 8Gig bud. There are enough treads where you are welcome to discuss the 'King'. I am happy to hear you are happy with your k850i.

I have a K850 since around 2 months and it is a great phone! The best I have ever had, great cool design and great functionality (BestPic is awesome when you want to capture action shots!) and I know it will just become better and better over time with the coming SW upgrades!
Thanks! Stay cool.
Thats exactly the point why there are so many annoyed k850i owners & dissappointed SE users out there. Why should you guys have to wait for upcoming firmware/bug fixes/SW upgrades etc to make this 'flagship' product fully useable & acceptable? Should it not be perfect and running at full its potential straight of box?
(going with your tyres analogy) would you be happy buying a pair (well 2 pairs) of brand new top-of-the-range tyres to find out the grip they gave you was useless, but be told, don't worry cause we're working on a better tread design so future tyres should handle better?
I think mib1800 has posted enough links to back up the views in this post and if you search Esato there's countless other users posting the same/similar views about there K850i's.
cheers

i have only one answer to this thread.............
compare this k850 pictures..(or someone else k850 pictures on Flickr.com of course)
http://www.flickr.com/photos/21179102@N07/
against this G800 pictures
http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/g800/
nearly everyone of this G800 pictures looks kind of blurry. special indoor & low light looks horrible.
(i have seen all G800 pictures on flickr.com and the looks very often quite bad)
G800 have actually the worse 5 M.P. camera of all brands...(even some reviews say that)...even G600 take better pictures.

Judging by all the K850 comparisons flooding every review sites: i guess there are 2 major flaws that hinders the phone to produce results that it should given it's brand name reputation for cameras.
1. The autolens cover glass protector - since this hasn't got any coating like any camera lens have as well as at least a decent polarizing filter coating. i accuse this silly protector as the main cause of all the negative performance K850 does.
2. Sensor - why in the world that SE had used a smaller and weaker sensor like this while in fact i-mobile 902, N82 and even the G800 featured a larger, yet better 1/2.5" sensor? so by this SE has really got some really serious problems inside their imaging division
shame that even the G800 which is 17mm slim and has an optical zoom lens uses a larger sensor than K850 and the imobile that has never got any better imaging experience with Sony sensors manages to produce the best image quality among all the mobile phones slapping so hard the face of SE imaging division people.

@razec
Have you considered that SE deliberately put in cheaper and inferior hardware into K850 to maximise profit?
From the plunging price of K850 since release, I think this is SE plan all along i.e. make a low cost 5Mp phone but release it initially as high end to rake in the huge profit from sales to SE-fans (or buyer who just look at brand).
Then when the 5MP competition heats up, SE will lower the price by up to 40-50% in a steep curve and still make decent profit due to low cost of production.

After the next firmware release K850 will undoubtedly be crowned "King of the 5MP Camphone". Brace urselves!
