Sony Ericsson K850 vs. Nokia N95: 5 megapixel shootout - read the full textThis 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...

without camera function, nokia still priority on other features. thats why people support nokia

Carl ziess Optics is not made by sony?? try double confirm on that

meanwhile i think SE is not own particular by sony. i read wiki article SE is hold by company of england and sweden.

if SE fans think the lastest firmware of k850 able to improve the camera quality or other function, then please stay waiting....because i dont think so

yea, SE have xenon, nokia contain LED, but still nokia wins. dont you think that's a shame for SE? If both phone are not setup any camera function, i think nokia will step on SE head until the deep bottom.

I think we miss the big trouble of all phone cameras including N95: no Xenon Flash, only LED. When we want to take pictures at night, the N95 will not reach an acceptable quality. However, the K850 can be used as a real camera, not as good as a 6 or 7 MPX Cybershot, but it's very useful. When we have enough sunlight, any mobile can take amazing pictures!!!

Nokia Prices are going Down bcoz nobody buys them !!!!!

and when they do...they most likely get Returned bcoz of the Bad firmware

SE is the Opposite they Hold Value and Resale you dont loose a Penny and theres never anything that goes wrong with them so they NEVER get returned Because there Stable !!

and Nokia employ Carl Zeiss to Make their Lenses why becuase Nokia cannont do it themselves ! and even all Nokia Betteries are Made in Japan why becuase Nokia cant Make them thereselves !.....and then they call themselves the worlds best Mobile phone company How ? if they dont make anything themselves...thats Nokia.

this is why Sony Ericsson is Better Sony Make the electronics Ericsson do all the Networking Simple isnt it !

Sony Ericsson All the Way !

"Canon Eos 400D: 10MP
Canon Eos 30D: 8MP

Who says 400D better than 30D :)"

As it was mentioned, you are talking about resolution, not actual physical size.
In N95 size of imager is bigger, and K850 will not be able to match its quality. If you look at digi cams, those with biger sensor always have better picture quality (and are pricier too), this is also true with camcorders..

This was rahter surprising... It's no secret that the Walkman range has been raped and ruined by Samsung's music centric models and Nokia's XpreeMusic-series (price/functions/quality ratio), but this still came as a surprise. Naturally we will wait for the final fw of the K850, but I think by then Nokia has announced it's N82 which will aswell be far superior.

It seems like SE has lost it's touch... The brandnames simply aren't enough anymore. People appreciate quality aswell.

"Bigger sensor not mean higher quality

Canon Eos 30D: 8MP

---------------------------------------
You're listing pixel count, not sensor size here. N95 and K850 do have the same number of pixels, if you think about it.

To me the most important thing is the quality of the picture and by looking at those pictures I can say that the pictures taken with the N95 are far better! N95 is a better phone in every aspect (apart from being a millimetre or 2 bigger, but that is understandable since it's so much more than the K850). So GO NOKIA! SE is so far behind these days! #1 = Nokia #2 = Samsung ..the rest are so insignificant that they don't even matter! LOL

that's why i'm wondering why sony ericsson who is best in making cam doesn't produce a phone with VGA recording capabilties.,nokia who doesn't have any expertise in making camera beats sony ericsson., we all know that sony ericsson can make great fones...the question why they are not making this great fones???

sony ericsson walkman series doesn't have any dedicated audio driver while in n91 it one dedicated audio driver.,

sony ericsson wake up...

It's funny that the K850 is released more than 1/2 year later than N95, but the camera quality is not better.
Really shame on Sony, big disappointment !
