seems like the sony got smaller file sizes... are the k800i pictures taken with the highest quality? (actually are they all on the highest quality?)

        Hey. Sometime vivid color are looked more beautiful than natural color. Do U know as a xenon flash k800s' flash is too weaker. Belive me. Go to http//:www.Mobile-review.Com .And you read the review of n73's camera review. So n73 is the best.

          Nokia's images have more vivid colour because of the higher contrasting. It's using post capture software modification i think....It may look better but it does not mean it is the best picture. If you look carefully at the flower pictures, nokia provides more vivid colouring at the expense of capturing finer detail. The flower is a blur with no details. I personally think sony has better camera than the samsung but pictures from samsung may be due to user error. It has longer capture time due to autofocusing so if you don't allow it to focus before taking pictures, even with DSLR, it won't look sharp. So i really think it's between Samsung or the sony. But many of the pictures are not identical, so it's very hard to determine which is better between the two. Many of the picture with samsung is taken with a lot of reflection, giving appearance of 'washed out' feeling thus making it look worse than it is. If you think camera is the most important feature, than compare it between samsung and sony in person at the store (Then again, pictures are really personal taste. You may still prefer nokia because of it's vivid colour despite loss of detail). If you think overall package, than samsung may be better package considering it's lighter and smaller and better UI (battery is not so good but it's a slim phone so you expect that). But sony does look pretty cool. But personally i want to save my neurons so i'll pass on all bar type phones. Clamshell or slider for my neurons.

            K800 with a uncomfortable size. Go to slasphone.Com. You can see that n73 is the best photo taker.In new-mobile.Com u can see K800s' xenon flash is weaker than n73's led flash. Though we know that xenon flash is powerful than led flash. So n73 is the clear winner. I have n73. I love it. So much. It is not so big. It is Comfortable in hand ,pocket everywhere. Its display & sound is superb.

                Well lets juz talk abt k880i and N73.. D900 is mediocrely average in images quality.. to me, i think that overall worth of money is to buy the N73 it has a better video resolution, a bigger screen(believe me.. screen size does matter).. but if we compare photo colours and details.. the N73 isnt the slightessless better than the k800i.. of course with the cooperation of sony cybershot.. the picture taken by the k880i is brighter but isnt contrast.. N73 color is more contrast than k880i..only one thing matters is that the camera cover.. k880i has a lousy built cover.. even when u put in ur pocket it may accidentally slip.. but the N73 has a strudier cover.. it wont slip.. nice isnt it..!! onething i dont like is that N73 uses such flash light for the camera.. DUH!! it may be a good flsh-lights used in the jungle but for camera the xenon flash is extremely good..!! thats why k880i is better at night and in dark places.. overall the sounds, graphic, messages, menu, usage all N73 is arguably better.. Much Better!!! when function matters the k880i loses to N73.. thats all i currently experince during my fewmonths using these two global master mobile.. =D

                  To be honest everyone bags the k800i, ive actually compared the n73 to the k800i and the only difference is the screen is bigger on the n73 which makes the picture seem better, i actually sent a k800i photo to the n73 and had the exact same photo on the n73... and the k800i was less pixalated... by the way the menu structure on a a k800i is much quicker than your typical symbian system.. to be honest the k800i also has an xenon flash which makes it better at night and a red eye reduction light.... with an auto focus which the n73 has yet no xenon flash or re eye reduction... so overall k8001 wins out... so cut all the crap... and buy a real phone... as a sales rep for telstra..... i would know.

                    The SE K800i in my opinion is the best phone out of the three and it does have a night mode feature, its called twilight in the scenes option in camera settings.

                      don't understand why people say that the d900 isn't in the comp. it has really good features on it and the camera is very good. its a lot sharper than both the se and n73. and it has a larger storage than both the others. also the recording quality is actually half-DVD quality. expandable memory is cheaper in the samsung. with 1gb m2 cards (se) costing £55+ and you can only buy specific nokia made cards for the n73 because they make them slightly thinner so that standard cards don't fit. Also the cursor button is better than the fiddly joytick. its lighter, looks better and at least the camera is safer behind the slider than both the se's and the n73's dodgy flimsy slidy thing. Trust me. Tried and tested. Samsung all the way.

                        No night mode really lets the k800 down. Not sure why N73 has a sharp silver face & dull plum back case.

                          the n73 have better camera, it being already proven.... 50% of people picked the n73 30% n93 and ONLY 20% SE k800 pictures. don't you print your pictures to show off!

                            I already bought N73 and now I am compairing it with the others, I think I will stick to it.

                              N73 is the better package deal including better video.
                              k800i however does have better camera.

                              Nokia is back in the race with camera phones but it did not take the lead (unless you want to carry a backpack all day long to stow away your N93). If it wasn't for all the non-camera features the N73 would definitely loose it to the k800i...ok, so I fell for the + on non-camera features and bought the N73. (and even now I am still doubting my choice)

                                Just clear ur mind and see the truth! of course these are not ANTAGONIST for digital cameras, but the SE K800 realy worth it.
                                as i have a K750i and compared it with so many other phones and cameras i can say about quality and features and being userfrenly ... SE is the best.

                                  look at the picture of the purple flower, you can clearly see the water droplets on the flower from the k800i, where as on the nokia they are unrecognisble! enough said!
