Whilst the pics taken with the k800i are ok,i really dont think they're up there with a dedicated digital camera.

It takes better pictures than my 3mp olympus did. It isnt as good as my 4mp sony but i dont expect it to be.

I think they are respectable. There have been a good many reviews on this device and it is a serious contender. With the right settings and a bit of practice you can take decent snaps pictures worthy of being printed out and placed in an album or uploaded to a blog.

Welcome to esato btw.

Absolutely. Anyone who says it can't is living in lala land. Even the K750 can print photos and upload to a blog. K750 photos print out at 4"x6" as good as any cheap 35mm film camera or low-end digital camera. The detail is clear, the colour and exposure are excellent (although sometimes you need to manually adjust white balance when taking the photo).

Infact, no one has picked my 4"x6" prints as camera phone pictures, and people are always surprised when I tell them the pictures are from my camera phone.

wat ever


Posted by apolloa
I thought the reason it has Cybershot branding is because the Cybershot department for Sony made the camera, or helped to develop it hence the name Cybershot on it. I don't think they just stuck the name on there for the fun of it.

Posted by goldenface
@apolloa

The interface has been borrowed from the Cybershot range but also, I hardly think Sony would licence use of the brand name if didn't think the K800i it was good enough.

Posted by korbindallis
in every review this phone has come out on top

what is every one getting up tight just casue one person dosnt like it,
if you dont like it then voice your openion in the bolkia forum and u might get a lott of like minded people their.

i for one thinks the K790i/K800i is good enough for the cyber shot label and hope more are to follow with 4 and 5 mp and optical zoom




Posted by max_wedge
well it uses cybershot menu, cybershot imaging technology, a Sony lense and camera module so it's certainly got cybershot heritage.

Posted by goldenface
@max I

I'm not sure the lens is Sony. I think they're bought in from a company called Lardan

I have a Canon 8 mpx digital SLR which is a fantastic camera but obviously too big to take everywhere all the time. I find the K800 a good enough snapshot camera to not warrant buying a ~5 mpx compact for those times.

Posted by PowerLee
Just remember, The K800I / K790I are the FIRST products in the new Cyber Shot range of camera phones that Sony Ericsson will make.

Lets see what Sony Ericsson come up with when these 2 models are up for replacement.

Posted by Batfink27
Yeah,all these points are fair enough,im just saying that when i got it at first and put the photos on my computer(bearing in mind it was the first time id seen a pic from the k800i),i was dissapointed.I think the next gen of cybershot phones will be great though.

I'll take your word for it. I had assumed it was Sony, since the K750 lense is made by Sony and it's not even cybershot branded (Sony made the whole camera module actually).




Posted by xan K
I think it is a phone that takes great pictures, so it is worthy of the CiberShot brand. if Sony used their brand in that phone is because they thought the phone was respectable, IMO.

Posted by *Jojo*
Does not differ much with that of the K750 - 2 MP !

Posted by max_wedge
Actually it's a lot better. Not just the MP, but the grain is much finer too. Much better quality pics as well as being higher megapixels.

Posted by apolloa
I would say as there are what seems to be some pro or pro amatuer photogrophers on here saying the K800I is brilliant then I'll go with what they say as they will know more then me and many others. The K800I thoroughly deserves it's Cybershot branding and like I said the Cybershot department helped to develop it.

No pics comparing the two? I've heard the K800 is better indoors due to a better flash, but the D900 is better outdoors (source vid on mobile arena).

Posted by Mulder7
The thread shouldnt be about comparing phone cameras, but seeing if the K800 is worthy of its name.

Since the 'cybershot' department help develop the technology, then it should be awarded its name. The pics dont look brill on the K800 screen but get them on your comp/ laptop/ tele etc and they look awsome.

Also its all about the right camera settings also. Dont forget also its only 3mp, get it too 5mp then start talking about it being a bad camera.

Posted by *Jojo*
Just always remember mates . . . that the SLR cameras (which uses FILMs) has an EXACT equivalent of = 8 MegaPixels (picture quality) on Digicams !

Posted by O-Dawg
Dude K800 RULES!! Best Camphone out there I say!

Posted by rockygali
well... stickin to the topic... K800 is WORTH the Cybershot Status and insignia or whatever! of course its not comparable to those 4,5,6,7,8mp Cybershots, but darn it! this is a 3MP Cybershot phone... if this product leaps to a 5mp camphone, youll eat yer words! the whole thing brotha! from front to yer rear!

Posted by vrl29
in fairness to the K800, i think it deserves the 'cybershot' status, since it's main selling point is the 'camera', and i think the K800's camera is above standards in today's world. of course, we keep on thinking that it should have 'premium' features like bigger MP or optical zoom, but then again, it still captures quality pics given its restrictions on such features.

i think people are quite confused about the branding. in the 'walkman' branding, many people do not complain simply because music players doesn't have much features like cameras have...
