Post photos taken with your i-mobile 902!

Posted by SaLiH
I've noticed couple of i-mobile 902 users here on Esato, so I decided to make a thread, where you can post your i-mobile 902 photos & videos! I also think this thread can help people who consider buying i-mobile 902, but are not sure about the quality of the photos.

I'll go first:

Scene mode:Normal, Quality:high, Saturation:high, White balance:Daylight, EVO:-03

Sorry, I saw N95 post photos and videos thread, and decided to make this one, cause I think this phone is very popular and much talked about lately, plus it has a Sony sensor. But if it's not OK, you can lock the thread.

p.s. I know about that thread.

SaLiH, Thanks for creating this thread!.

I hope someday SE phones too would produce such quality pics!

Today i've been to 4th world military games, below are few pics from that event. Hope they would be some interest to people here!.

Wow!
This phone takes great night pictures indeed !
But i guess K850 has the strongest Colors !

Posted by Shuuro
Can't refrain from posting one more pic.

I guess just like a child who discover something new. well, in my case it is i-mobile 902 & it has good cam(just cam not the phone

).

It would be nice if more people post pictures taken from their i-mobile 902 here!!!

I don't think I have seen camera-phone pictures this good before, great thread which just shows what can be achieved if Sony pulled their finger out.

@SaLiH your pics are also nice too

@DigDub Great to see you here and skyscrapers & their reflections on water look amazing!!!

Here is one more pic. nothing special though but it is amazing to note the way i-mobile 902 reproduces colors which is comparable to reality.

At first I thought of not posting here as I already have uploaded to the Photos section but then I thought just to post the ones from there that sucks the least.

Day:

Night:

And some mixed pictures:

And finally, to "borrow" the idea from someone in the K850i threads

(To be honest, I touched this one up a bit, rotated, cropped, improved lightning and finally scaled down. If anyone asks for it, I will upload the original.)

Posted by Shuuro
nice pictures!!!. that leaking tap picture is quite good and that too without use of best pic!

Posted by AbuBasim
It's a bitch trying to shoot photos of water drops without BestPic. The K850i owners definitely have an advantage there. Shame about the sensor, though. If SE had used the same sensor that Sony provided to i-mobile, I would have been camping outside the SE dealer, waiting for the phone to be released. As it stands now, I wouldn't touch the K850i with a stick!

Any australians here? We had Powderfinger and Silverchair play here in NZ last night in Wellington.

One hint regarding the Auto setting for white balance when shooting indoors: aim the camera at the light source to make the camera adjust white balance quickly and accurately.

Posted by Residentevil
Those are great photos. The mobile phone looks good as well.

Posted by razec
Most of the photos posted here were taken indoors if not, nightscenes... the weakest point of k850 and N95. this factor only showcases it's power to kill the best cameraphones on market and this is a great slap in the face of both SE and Nokia Claiming to be the best mobile imagers on the market

To me, the i-mobile 902 is a worthy replacement for a P&S camera.

Another camera phone producing photos of similar quality is the LG KG920 (and at least one guy at HWZ who have tried both phones says that the LG model is better), but unfortunately it's price tag is the double of the i-mobile 902's. MR called the KG920 "amazingly expensive" when they reviewed it last year. The reason for the price difference is the high-quality build with Titanium for the case, plus that the camera part twists like Nikon's old Coolpix digicams.

i saw KG920 sample pics already, and they are comparable to the 902s but they loose terribly when it comes to performance. and the yellow cast issue on GSMArena review...

Posted by jemuel
It just goes to show that lens size and megapixels aren't factors for ordinary cam-phone photos. it's in the sensor. S700i and i-mobile have proved this.

I can't even imagine a dedicated Digicam can do that. and to think it came from a phone cam? I've always thought these kind of pics are domain of Bulky and expensive DSLRS!

And I've never thought a cam-phone could have that fast a shutter speed to capture droplets. sorry if i post a lot. i just couldn't believe what i'm seeing.

Posted by AbuBasim
@jemuel,

The shutter speed is actually quite slow, only 1/16 second. But the light in the room is not enough to illuminate the flight of drops so the flash helps to freeze them.

very true...it is certainly difficult to capture that shot as opposed to k850i and importantly one needs to have lot of patience to get a right shot.

902 has great cam and speaker but it can't play quality music through earphones like SE phones do. I seriously hope that SE would use better sensor in their next phone.

OCWorkbench posted a very positive review of the KG920 and their sample shots do not show the same yellow cast. They made an interesting comparison with a Nikon Coolpix 4300 with samples on pages 6, 7 and 8. And in the conclusion on page 9 they said that the KG920 was better than the digicam!

Apologies for wandering off-topic.

well, above flower is quite small, here is the reference picture to see really how small it is:

Actually coin and the flower are of the same size but as the coin is held under the flower it gives the impression that flower is little bigger.

It was quite windy and hard to get good pics. See you guys, have a nice weekend.

Update:All pictures were taken on overcast and windy day.

The WAY I see it .. . this camfone CAPTURES sharper images at NIGHT-TIME/INDOORS than that of DAYTIME and OUTDOORS

Nice shots mateys ! Congrats ! 'Will just wait for more image UPLOADS in the

K850 Thread to compare it . . .

I don't know. I think my daytime shots posted above are quite sharp. I have a few more in the Photos section. But on the other hand, one explanation could be that most i-mobile 902 owners take extreme care not to move the phone while shooting low-light shots and keep the phone on a stand or some other object, while shooting daytime/indoor photos the phone is usually hand-held and even minor movement or hands trembling will take away some of the clarity.

The i-mobile 902 put priority on producing good photos and adjust shutter times accordingly, usually towards the slower region. This puts more demands on the user and some people may find it difficult to produce good photos with this phone. Most other camera phone vendors put priority on easy-of-use and photo quality suffer.

@mervy,

This is Night mode. This gives a maximum of 4 seconds shutter time. Auto mode gives a maximum of one second. There is no manual mode. ISO can be adjusted Auto/50/100/200. I would have preferred ISO 400 also, like on the KG920.

They're arguing about which one is the best camera phone over at the K850i vs N95 pic quality thread. I thought of making a similar one-photo comparison for the i-mobile 902:

i-mobile 902 vs CANON EOS 300D!

(For those of you who are not familiar with the 300D, it is a 6 MP DSLR.)

Both shots were taken at full auto mode with flash forced off. The 300D has the stock lens that came with the camera and the shot was framed to be as close to the 902 shot as possible.

If you click and compare the original sizes (which are not "original" as Flickr scales them down to 2048 pixels width) then you can see slightly more noise in the 902 shot. This is due to the smaller lens and smaller sensor.

Edit: removed images linked from Flickr.

This is really amazing, i never expected so little difference. To me, 902 colors are bit vibrant but 300d image looks bit sharp.

[ This Message was edited by: Shuuro on 2007-10-29 14:11 ]

Posted by AbuBasim
The difference would perhaps be bigger with a newer and more high-end DSLR . The 300D was introduced more than four years ago and categorized as a "pro-sumer" camera. Today you have the 400D producing 10 MP shots but oddly with a smaller sensor than the 300D...

One more point about the noise: to have the 300D produce the same amount of noise with it's APS-C sized sensor as from the 902's 1/2.5" sensor you have to bring up the ISO to 800 or 1600. Sensor size makes all the difference but a camera phone with an APS-C sized sensor would probably not appeal to most people as it would be too large and unwieldy. And a large sensor requires a large lens, unless you're a big fan of wide-angle shots only.

i-mobile 902 vs Olympus C-350
A quick comparison between the 5 MP camera phone and a four year old Point-and-Shoot camera, the 3 MP Olympus C-350. For the following photo the i-mobile 902 was set to 3 MP mode, but otherwise both are in full Auto mode, with flash forced off. These are 800x600 crops shown at 100 percent scale.
