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...

      Nope. Sony has the better power management than nokia. My N95 last for barely a day but my P1 can stay upto 3 days. Both with some calls, texts and music playback. As for the photos, the photos of n95 are so much compressed, especially when I take photos of landscapes and distant objects. Not naturally looking, sharp edges and lacks so much details. Though, close shots were fine. Overall ok photos, just dont zoom it.

          With my opinion i see that Nokia wins a battle between features and technology. However Sony on the other hand has the potential of adapting the latest technology still have to learn a lot from their challenges. First of all Nokia has good touch and feel but its nulky for a normal user or a professional. Sony wins the touch and fell and the product seems to be lighter than N95. But N95 has good phot capture ability but lacks on flash and processing speeds.Sony has a good flash still loses this battle on many aspects such as color ratio and naturality. The colors needs to be vivid and attractive. Audio is good in Sony just because of Megabass. However nokia needs to improve the audio quality. It lacks the compatibility of adding open source plugins to its audio. As a smartphone nokia wins a race between sony but it has a long way to go to compete with O2 or any windows mobiles.Overall Nokia has learnt from its mistakes on call quality and power management and made a good choice to stand long on the race. Sony loses on very poor power management and have to stop including unwanted features for its size...

            I have read a lot of comments on the both brands, but most of them are made like rebel political parties election slogans. any how I am waiting to get the SE 850 to see physically how it works.

                for the video recording i think n95 is better.and the pictures in normal conditions are better with n95.nokia is the master of telephones with very good pictures,recording video,gps,quality radio,etc. what do you want more?ihave a SE k8oo,but i'll change with a n95.everytime i changed my phone for the camera pictures but now nokia is the best and the recording videos are great.the only good thing with sek850 is he xenon flash but it is not enaught to win the battle with n95.i was a SE fan untill i sow the pictures,the reviews,and now N95 IS THE LEADER!

                  Well, if the green or blue line can make the difference to make the difference...wow!
                  As i said, i have K800 and N95. Print the photos and you´ll se the difference. I like K800 a lot, is better use and very friendly using mobile but...no illusions. N95 has a better camera. Let´s wait for 850...

                                    SE are greater than nokia in any segment like music and camera. Nokia just play do-it-all to make up to it. I am assured that k850 retail version will win any time with its non compressed photos and natural colors.
