Had my w850i for a little while after changing from my w810i. and the camera is SO different. Whilst the interface of the camera is more like the K800i and despite it being 2mp like the w810 the quality is aweful.
Look at the two pics below. Both taken at the exact same time with the phones side by side. [Every picture I take with my w850 is very dark.] Both have the same settings. I even took the picture of the w810 by pressing the capture button quickly so no autofocus. Ive checked the lens on the w850 and it appears to be fine. Its annoying as I have to have the flash on when taking all pictures (unless its sunny).

W810:


W850:

(its dark and green tinted!!)

Picture properties:



Anyone got any ideas as to why this is happening?
The pics other people have taken with their w850 seem alot better!

It's probably a smaller and possibly cheaper lens in the W850 that takes fairly good photos in plenty of natural light (which is probably what the other pictures you've seen were taken in) but performs worse in artificial light than the W810i.

SE seem to be doing more 'specialised' devices rather than 'jack of all trades' phones like the W800/W810i were, thus you're getting more dedicated walkman phones like the W850i with an inferior camera, and the K800i Cypbershot phones with the superior camera but inferior MP3 player. Shame, I like the 'all-rounder' devices!

Have you tried K800i the Cyber-shot phone? It has great camera capabilities, but never compare the music output with Walkman series. So, enjoy whichever phone you have.

Look at the exposure times and notice one is 1/15 and the other 1/20 this makes a difference and can go someway to explain the darkness of the photo.

Can not compare to pics when they have different settings you see!

W850 has no af, so no reason to compare it to w810 imo

Why no af in w850, any official statement? If it would be a low end or mid range fone, ok, but in a w810 succesor...
