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...

they said:
"Sony Ericsson were able to design a well-balanced 5 Mpix camera phone which isn’t bad at all at taking pictures but it has very few advantages over the N95 while the latter was able to beat its competitor in quite a number of tests."

"The hardware design of K850i is extremely successful, making it a handy and easy-to-learn digital camera, simplicity being a huge benefit. The motion detector is quite an intriguing features, and the gallery feature is rather good as well. But taken as a whole, the handset doesn’t have any far-advanced functions in comparison to the Nokia’s flagship N95. It gives us an expectation that a situation similar to the last year’s will take place again, when N73 sold better than its rivals, and N95 is going to have even better sales – not because K850i turned bad or is just an intermediate product making way to a more advanced successor but largely due to N95’s outstanding qualities, even considering its high price."

What a bunch of sourgraping SE fanboys. Clearly you all must be blind. Happens with PS3 fanboys too. I don't like either but you're all free to express your stupidity here.

Just to point out. The only reason the N95 won was because of the video in which the Nokia got 5 and the SE only got 1. To say that the video quality of the K850i is only to the standard of 1 out of 5 is absolutely ludicrus!!! it's at least a 3! And what use is a camera if you can't keep it on for more than an hour? Clearly the K850 is at least the equal of the N95 if not slightly the superior!?!?!

Here we are at the end of this shootout. GSMArena was once again an arena for the battle of the titans. We hope that this article will help you decide between the most popular 5-megapixel choices on the market if you are going to buy your next phone based on its photographic abilities. In this heavy-weight championship series the Sony Ericsson K850 managed to collect a total of 31 points, while the Nokia N95 managed to beat it by a slight margin with a total of 34 points. Those numbers are indicative only and you should give more weight to the results of the tests that matter most to you. It was a close call, but this time we prefer the Nokia model. The main issue with previous Nokia cameras - the overprocessed look is gone with the N95 and the experience Nokia had with their photo mobiles so far seems enough to compete with the years of Sony know-how in the field. As a last note, let's not forget that Sony Ericsson K850 firmware is still in beta. If the photo quality changes significantly with the final version we will revise the article.

hey guys! take it easy! i've just been to www.mobile-review.com and they concluded that these phones are on a draw. they have their own strong points ok? like what the above mentioned website said, "K850 is better in natural color reproduction and camera user interface.... and N95 is more artistic...... ok.... now i'm confused? artistic in what way. anyway, like they said it's a draw. but in my opinion, i like k850 slightly better. check out the chamomile image comparison between the 2 phones. n95 looks somewhat fake. it's like the chamomile flower was just pasted on a grass background. i dunno. i think it's the result of too much post-image processing. anyhow, k850 wins in my opinion since i like more natural color reproduction. and more importantly, it's close to half the price of n95.

Hello Ducky_88, cameraphone >>> take picture the moment u don't think u need a camera, and good quality is of highest welcome. Share it through MMS is a breeze. Blogging is also possible. Camera >>> a truly dedicated picturing device but annoying stuff to carry around all the time. Cannot even connect to others to share picture. Muz go through a PC first. Let's not be cruel to mention 3G, music-playing, gaming, software, internet....blah blah blah #Never Miss a Shot# that's the tagline, get it?

By personal opinion its not that one phone is better than the other, its what you need in a phone. Fashion is more what people look at these days anyway. I wouldn't choose either phone, why not wait untill a second release of the SE or go for the N95 8GB. Why settle for basics.

I sometimes think that it would be cool to have a clone so I could buy both phones lol.

Oh and if you were going to buy something for the camera, why not get an actual camera... not a camera phone.
