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...

    SE, way better, the sound quality.. the camera features.. the size, and it look's incredible.. and the price is lower. a SE model as expensive as N95, will be a laptop..

      after all its not a real competition review.k850 is still beta and when it comes out to the market it could be much better than n95 and any mobile phone.

        oh Nokia N95 - truly the world's "Greatest Multimedia Computer" even a 'Cyber-shot' branded phone from SE was beaten overall in the camera department! no wonder Sony Ericsson needed to post photos on their official website in Germany and claim that those photos were actually taken by K850 itself but in reality, images were taken by a stand alone digicam! poor SE, CAUGHT LYING by millions of people around the world. wat's more alarming is dat they didn't even use their own stand alone Sony digicams, instead they used a Sanyo S50 digital camera! my GOLLY!

        in photography, a larger sensor usually means BETTER IMAGE QUALITY than those with smaller sensors

        what more if N82 arrives with xenon flash too like K850?! just imagine..

        "Cyber-shot" = marketing gimmick LOL

        even stand alone Sony digicams doesn't give us consumers class leading image quality if we compare Sony against its rivals..

          Although I much prefer the look of N95, I was surprised SE didn't win! Their Cybershot Cameras have always impressed me but in this instance I guess the N95 has really delivered.

          A very well informed and useful review guys.

                  just because of the video points?
                  everything counts dude
                  its part of the camera =P
                  lol, go NOKIAAAAAAAA

                  if n95 can even beat the camera of the proud K850i...then what about the other features?
                  GPS, WI-FI, wahahahaha

                    wahahaha....now this article prove that even the proud feature of SE K850 cant beat N95, it's definately nor other phone function where SE is really weak on. Despite this article states SE camera are better then nokia, i dont mind either because i really think the photo taken by GSM shows nokia quality color are more sharper where i prefer the most.

                    Meanwhile i read some other article says that K850 use much of time only to improve their camera and careless for the others important features, which means what they care about and advance the most is their camera without other special function, but what for? still losing nokia and if only compare on camera function i will buy a digital camera rather than this.And when is k850 release in asia? still necessary continue to wait? where n95 is different, now even release n95 8gb....wuahahaha

                            I disagree with GSMarena. In most shoots N95 looks better, and on some shoots advantage of Nokia is not just 'marginal' but pretty obvious. In fact, there is only one foto where K850 looks better than N95, that beach foto where Nokia lost some details..
                            They should be at least equal. So I don't understand why they put K850 first (minus video recording).
                            And why didn't they mention that Sony Ericsson caught lying on K850 image quality? Those shoots on their site were made with Sanyo S50 digi cam, not with K850, shame.

                                      The N95 as really done well beating K850 an Sony Ericsson will be amazed by this ,but the camera on the N95 is to me superb an thats why i bought it,lets see a review now about the N95 v G600 from Samsung,i just the G600 but no match to the N95 an the speakers on the G600 are not loud enough so no challenge to beat the N95

                                        wel this wasn't a FAIR BATTLE, nokia n95 is at it's perfect shape (because it has been shipping for a long time) and K850 is just a beta version of the real thing so nokia fans admit in camera performance(still pictures) K850i is far far far better then n95.
