interpolated 2be 1.3 MP is true, but interpolated is not the real censor of camera, thus only extending from VGA quality. not improve quality of pic just make bigger...


cheers

    s9mx,
    hi s9mx,as u can read in my earlier opinions abt Z530,i hav mentioned that its a ph with nice sound,easy to handle,a catchy one.but i brougt this cell as i found it 2b attractive and probably for a camera which says that it can b interpolated 2 1.3mp.but thats not true my friend.so if u want a phone that is cheaper,nice sound quality,easy to use but to say with a poor camera so go for Z530.but if not go for S700I.

      Rohit,
      I absolutly agree, if want a camera, I'll visit a camera site. I'm here because I want a phone. The Z530i is cheap, makes calls and fits in my pocket & that's what I need. I would however welcome an opinion on the user interface (ease of navigation, etc.), which is IMHO a more important issue.

        to say this ph camera is bad, too emotional
        depends on ur setting. in the night you must set night mode or increase ur light. in the sunny day too bad if u set in night mode.


        If u want a good camr for budget go to
        dpreview.com or dcresource.com
        cheers

                  M2 card is now available in Brunei but too bad its not yet 'for sale' ermm... I think they have to wait for stock or something maybe.. and its very very small.. and it cost BND 100+.. cant wait for M2 as music quality of this phone is great.. and I want to store as much music I want into this phone..

                  cute.. after this.. I'll wait for the sytle up cover..

                  *cheers*

                    TO TBS

                    1. I think the VGA camera of sony ericsson is similar and not different significantly

                    2) I think it can download MP3 in any size.

                    3) How long can the battery last while playing MP3?
                    It depends on the volume of speaker phone and the watt of speaker.
                    the battery of this phone is 900 mAh, similar to Z520, W550 etc....

                    4) Can it record up to one hour of video and is it 176*144?
                    it can't record video too long but can record voice unlimited

                    5) How many MB can store these following:
                    a) one thousand pictures ---> depend on the quality of pic
                    b) One hour of video---> not applicable
                    c) One hour of voice---> not tried yet

                    6) Is the screen brighter than K700i?
                    I don't know but the contrast of this phone is okay

                    7) How much is 512MB and 1GB Memory Stick Micro at shops and is it expensive than 512MB and 1GB MicroSD?
                    I dont know

                            a tip for using the camera in dark or indoors: increase the brightness / or use the "night mode". another tip for great outdoor pics: use hi-res mode, decrease the brightness (volume button down) and see the dramatic change! :) cheers.

                                      Wow.. That is a simple word that i can describe for this phone.. FOR MYR 550.00(malaysian ringgit) == or 157.00 USD.. it is simply superb.

                                      The level of user-friendliness is very out standing.. Comparing to MOTOROLA L6 & L7.. this phone is much more better.

                                      The speaker of the phone is muchly fair, it could not beat W550i.

                                      The camera setting is simple and easy to understand. Only thing, it is not a good camera under low-light condition. It has plenty of noise under low-light condition.

                                      The UBC screen is considered okay, almost as good as TFT.. :) Believe me..

                                      I would encourage those who wants a simple phone that has, camera, bluetooth, infrared, expandable memory with an average budget. To go for this phone..

                                      ENJOY THE PHONE.. *wink *wink
