Sony Ericsson K850 vs. Nokia N95: 5 megapixel shootout

04 September 2007
This year several GSM cameraphones have already reached the 5 megapixel barrier. The Nokia N95 has been out long enough now that it's even got an update - an 8GB version with a larger screen and a larger battery so obviously it will stick around...

@PB1$

you are right, SE fans always think most component of nokia phone is created by sony. If they think so they are nuts, no common sense. please SE fans, do some homework before written comment or write something bad about nokia, else you are the 1 who embarass.

But most i see is SE fans always highlight where K850 is still on beta version. N95 already been upgrade to n95 8gb, but still SE havent complete their firmware...what a shame...meanwhile even k850 is fully or foolly complete, i think it's time to face another stage, which is the ultimate N82....however..k850 still gonna lose....

    i guess you can only compare N95 & k850 in camera mode because in the rest...n95 beats k850! Come on! K850 does not have wifi...

        The main thing is that the 850 firmware is still in beta as the end of the article said. Basically its not done yet. When the 850 comes out for real then compare. Also can people stop ripping ever brand thats not there favorite it childish. For some reason i've noticed the nokia people are the biggest offenders. The nokia fairy will not hug you if you bash another product.

          Carl-Zeiss is a division of Carl-Zeiss-Stiftung. It's not owned by Sony, Ericsson, Nokia, or any other company.
          please click:
          http://www.zeiss.de/en
          http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeiss
          or, you can always try http://www.google.com

          btw, i wonder why those SE fanboys always complaining about anything that doesn't have SE logo on it.
          they even gone too far by spreading fake rumours like "Sony owned Carl-Zeiss, Sony owned this, Sony created that, Sony invented this, Sony made that, Sony this, Sony that, etc..."

          really...

              Mostly I see only disgruntled SE fanboys posting 'cuz their phone lost by a few points. Stop complaining and just get the one you like the most, dammit.

                Sony:
                - Camera features
                - Camera speed
                - Moderate light
                - Flash photos

                However, Nokia (8Gb edition) has a 2.8" display, 8 Gb, 16 million colors, stereo speakers, 8 band equalizer, etc. Nokia N95 8Gb is a music and a photo phone. Sony E K850i is only a photo phone.

                    I'm sorry but the quality of n95 pictures shown in the article are not even close to the quality I see from those taken on my n95. The n95 wins hands down and that's no joke

                          N95 are the best, i use 3.5G at my developing country and yes it's not useless, but foremost everything in N95 are better but not the speaker it's better in SE K850

                              what u mean GPS and 3.5G are useless??!!now most country even the third world having at least 3G services in their country.nokia as a multimedia smartphone, of course its necessary to contain all of the great feature inside a small box.

                              Not like SE, always primary concentrate on camera quality. If i have a 7 mp digicam, to buy SE k850 is waste of money. Meanhwhile SE dummy camera cant even compete with N95

                                    hey guys we must compare between N series and P series in SE . not with K series.and if Sony put areal digital camera like Cyper-shot or Handycam at their mobile phones it will surely beat any mobile camera.

                                      To knocked kiaout.... I supposed you were a noob, now I'm sure. I think you didn't know it but Your w700 is not a high end walkman as was the w800-w810. Its sound and general quality is not on par with them. Look at some reviews you will learn that for example its sound is low and not as good as other walkman but that's normal for a mid end. And you dare compare it to N91? Best sound ever in a musicphone according to ALL sites even mobile-review? You're just an ignorant! And about gaming, I've played medal of honor 3D a few weeks ago.... Have you searched in youtube like I told you? Are you dumb enough to compare brothers in arm 3D a N64-like game or "Or "ONE who's the next" a Tekken 3-like game, all symbian games, to your medal of honor a pixellated even not PsOne-like game? And you know what? In my k800 I can play "medal..." but in my N73 a can play both symbian and your pixellated java games.
