Today I compared Canon PowerShot A40 2 MP Digital Camera with my K750i. Here are the results. This Canon camera belongs to my friend, it was bought four years ago in 2002 when it was released. It was very expensive back then. We bought it four our youth newspapers we had in 2002-2003. And when the newspapers team break up, my friend got the camera
because he was the main editor of our newspapers. So we havely used it for the past four years. Now when i have K750i I decided to compared it with this cam because both cams are 2 MP. I just don't know why didn't I remember to do this before. I didn't have so much time so i shoot everything on my way to work .


This is the camera I'm talking about.

In didn't compared night shots, because my MXE-60 hasn't arrived yet. I'll do it when I get it, aldough indoor night shoots can be compared, if you turn the leds and night mode on, but outdoor night shots can't be compared, I mean it wouldn't be fair because Canon PowerShot A40 has real Xenon flash.

Great review, but its old news.. Maybe if you compared a K800i to a 3.2MP cam, if you you'll find many threads on K750i Cam comparisons

@tranced - You're welcome
Me too, at least until they release 5 MP phone, with real Xenon flash, dvd video quality recording, A2D...all in K750i sized phone. I mean I was really happy when I first saw that SE is going to release 2MP phone because as I said I was using this Canon 2MP Dig.Cam. for the past 4 years. But I was still a little bit sceptical, if I would be able to use it as a real dig. cam. But when I finally got it I couldn't believe my own eyes, especially because before I had K700i. K750i is simply the best 2 MP phone camera in the world, we all konow it was awarded by TIPA for best imaging mobile device 2005.

I would have been rather shocked if the SE had come out on top! Having said that - the SE's lens is tiny & the phone is also tiny but the pictures it takes are almost unbelieveable for a phone!
I have taken some stonking pictures with my K750i. OK, it doesn't really compare to my Olympus C-4040z but I don't carry the Olympus everywhere & it doesn't fit into jean pockets.
I got my girlfriend a W810i & its screen is much better, though I haven't compared its camera but presume it's no worse. The W810i's music s/w is far better than the K750 - especially when trying to navigate through 3GBs of mp3s.

@busb - I was suprised by that too, K750i lens is so small comparing to Canon's, and still it takes excellent photos. Yes W810i, has the same camera as K750i (W800i,W810i,D750i,W900i,P990i and ofcourse K750i all have the same camera). Your photos are great. You can check some more photos I took with my K750i here:
