just go through the pics in the main page itself comparing these three models i think nokia N73 will rock in the field. sony, its ok with the pics but n73 with carl zeiss lens would do more magic.

      Well, as people told the race is between Nokia and Sony Ericsson

      I vote for Ericsson, because as we saw the pics, Sony Ericsson has the most reality colors and the best flash (but no night mode).

          i think the real competition is b/w k800i and nokia n73.now colors of n73 r richer but k800i is giving the real color every time , k800 is better in night time as well, n73 is a bit darker .d900 is not in the race .

              se is the winner..its pictures are sharper and i think it's pictures are far above the other average 3 megapixel camera..in its night mode..the pictures turn out as if it it still in the day so..from my point of view se is the winner..not offensively..nokia and samsung are also very good..

                it seems that the k800i is the best and for N73 the operation system is too bad and slow like in other N-seris phones. for the samsung it's good phone but no 3G support and the camera quality isn't that good.

                  D900 all the way even though may not be best cam its way slimmer than the others and has almost all features that the n73 has and looks much better.

                      The K800,as I see it (I may b wrong) takes the best pictures on average. The images look of slightly better quaality(although all three are good) than the others. The images are sharper, and they portray the best colorization of the objects taken shot of....

                            Sony Ericsson is the best its market price doesnt go down as fast as nokia does. though its hard to see what's the big difference between the three, k800 looks best at night. its auto flash functions shots like a digital camera's, besides i love the "CYBERSHOT" logo in the phone. N73 is good in mms messaging but the phone just looks like a cheaper one. if its design would be altered then phone could just be a perfect one. D900? nah?? i hate samsung phones, its hard to recognize the differences between their models in terms of physical aspects! Pictures?? K800i is the winner!

                              wow! samsung d900 which is not even designed to be a serious dedicated camera phone, can easily take on the top against K800 and N73 which are seriously designed to be a top camera phones with icing on thier cams. How much more if K800 or N73 will have camera shoot out with the SAMSUNG Z710 which is made to be a top camera (3mp) phone. I am sure K800/N73 will eat the dust of the SAMSUNG Z710 both in picture and videos.

                              Samsung D900 is very superb.

                                |The photos speak for them selves.........Each camera has it's own bias towards a particular spectrum of colours. But suprising that the nokia even with the Carl Zeiss lens and the CMOS CCD sensor has a lot of noise . Check out the pics from the dark-with flash pics.

                                  Nokia is sharpest and have good picture in the center, but what happens in the corner of the picture? Looks like bad artificial denoise algorithms and lack of blue.

                                  Sony have best colors, but why are the they offset? It makes really ugly edges in high contrast. Rather blurry overall.

                                  Samsung, naah. Reminds of the Sony but with more noise and less sharpness.

                                  But this is of course my own reflection (although as a pro photographer). I don't like CMOS-pictures at all actually, but if I had to pick one I think I would go for Nokia and crop the bad parts in Photoshop ;-).

                                  Cheers.

                                    N73 can take great night shots too, just not as good as the K800i. Play with the settings. Check this out: http://forums.hardwarezone.com/showthread.php?t=1361198&page=29&pp=15

                                    Also, I choose the N73 because of symbian. There may be a slight lag, but symbian brings much more capability to the phone. The N73 also has a bigger screen, and stereo sound, which doesn't really bother me as I use my ipod for music. Also, messaging is a pain with SE if I'm not wrong, so, N73 ALL THE WAY!

                                      the digital zoom of K800 is better than the other .the quality of pictures of N73 in day light is better but the pictures of K800 at night is the best also the colors of k800 is better than N73 but the colors of D900 is more closer to reality than the other.
