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...

ok guys did you kno "Cybershot" is a branding and not actually dat much different? k850i is much better . the pictures taken in this reivew is of pictures on the wall so it actually affects the quality. vide recording is much better in nokia of course...

oh btw. carls zeiss is actually very bad on fones... look at the quality wen u zoom on the pictures wen its been taken..

    i have been used both of these phone..

    for me, k850 is better in low light photo because in has a great cyber-shot flash. but in term of people with 'shaking hand', better use N95..

        to Lee...seems like u r fan of nokia..
        be patient coz all camera phone got their advantage n disadvantage..

        N95 losing to K850i in certain shot and K850i also...
        so,both camera phone got their own nice thing

        but wont mind if ur phone hang or lagging?

        Nokia user are familiar with lagging phone..go n ask Sony Ericsson about it..

        i`m prefer K850i respectively K810i

        thx all...

          Maybe it hangs because, u haven't updated the phone firmware. The first version is loaded with good features with also LOTS of "bugs"

                  actually nokia are the most experienced camera producers out of every camera related company ever.

                  they produce the most cameras per year than anyone else.

                  oh yeah and the camera on the n95 is far better than the one on the k850 and it came out 2 years earlier! haha.

                  oh nokia you impress me how far ahead you are.

                    The design of the Sony Ericsson K850 is nicer than Nokia N95. And SE K850 is lighter than Nokia N95 too. The price of K850 is cheaper than Nokia N95. I prefer SonyErisson K850.

                      In March I will be buying SE K850i (not yet sure about that) and I've been searching for many reviews about SE K850i and I had read that its camera produces good pictures...but not as good like Nokia N95 (although the previous cellphones Nokia had made are tending to produce images that are over-sharpened)...So I guess that Nokia had improved their cameraphones especially with N82...(it has xenon flash)...but one thing I can say about Nokia is that their phones are not too worthy of having a price like 500 euros...too overpriced...

                      but to SE, I think they will solve that problem, having noisier images...because they are manufacturers of quality cameras! unlike Nokia...an unexperienced one.

                        For those who hate Sony Ericsson, you can invent a mobile phone like K850i with 0.00001 Mp

                            I assume that I'm a Nokia-hater.. Anyway..

                            It seems that the pictures you took to the boat, for example, are pictures of "printed pictures".. Why don't you let the phones take the photo outdoor with some difficulties? I mean, a street, with a lot of objects to focus.. Or anything..

                            Tryed NIGHT (without any light) shoots? Just Flash..

                            Regards..

                                        Hey, Ive just got the LG viewty, my choice was between the K850i and the Viewty, went with the Viewty as iv heard bad things about the touch button controls on the sony ericsson, if it werent for that id have certainly went for the sony ericsson as i love them. Plus the viewty has the schneider lens, which kin da brings me onto my point which relates to this article.

                                        Is it fair to consider sony ericsson Cybershot phones true Cybershot phones? They dont comne with the Carl Zeiss lens that is present - and is a huge selling point - in all sony dedicated digital cameras.

                                        Interestingly this very same lens is now actually present in the Nokia N95 and several other nokia phones.

                                        Just a tohugh. :)
