i searched for a while with google to see if anyone has posted up comparisons of pics taken with/out the MPF10 attachment
i am thinking of getting one but want to see if its worth it first ...
anyone else have any luck or have got one that can post the comparisons here for me?
thanks

I have a few in order, and should get them tomorrow or monday. I'll post a quick review when I get it. I'll also test it on a P800, so that issue can be put to a rest, doubt it will work tho.

thanks!! i emailed SE on more than a 'few' occasions about when it will be released (its been on their web pages coming soon since 1/1/03)
and all the phone shops i have been to.. even the dodgey ones in chinatown - no one knows about it or have it in stock yet... sooo dissappointed
how much are you paying for these and where did you buy from?
if you could do a review would be great!! looking forwards to it!

Allright, I got the flash earlier today, and tried it on my T610.
The flash sticks to the bottom of the phone, and has a shutter button, that works excactly like the camera button on the T610. If you press it once, you go to the camera function, you press it again, you take a picture.
It does NOT work excactly like a regular flash. If you want to take pictures of a large room, its useless, cause the leds doesnt carry the light that far. Normal flashes have more powerful bulbs, and therefore need chargeup-time, MPF-10 works every time you press the trigger, as it just lights the leds for about 2 seconds every time.
If you are taking closeups though, this flash is great, and it will probably work very well for taking pictures of someone across the table on a night out for example.
I haven't had a chance to try it with a P800 yet, but I think it will work, as the connector is the same, and it lights up every time you press the button when connected to T610, even when youre not in the camera application. You will have to take the picture manually after activating the flash though, as the MPF-10 button cannot communicate with P800. I will confirm this tomorrow when I try it.
Overall, this flash is an expensive toy, that I am unsure how much I will use. For its intent and purposes though, it works great. Closeups gets much better with it, and the T610 camera is shite for taking pictures from far away anyway, so the flash not working doesnt matter. In my opinion at least.
If you have any questions, post here, and I'll try to answer them as best I can.

gill-b pictures for comparison
Posted by bigdickking
not bad..
a little improvement..
Posted by deuxani
Uhmm.. so much money for so little improvement!! The T610's camera is not worth buying a flash for, it's as useless as that little car they're releasing.
Posted by Craig to the B
ummmm.......we cant justify how good the flash is by just one photo sample that would be unfair to do....It would be great if there would be more photo comparisons to looks at.
As for the price its not that expensive...if you can afford it buy it..Obviously im not going to buy it if it is really that bad.
It would be nice to see more photos though.

How is the car useless, best gaming solution for the T610 !
Posted by impy78
little car? So you can drive to the supermarket inside your phone?! Wow! It's a MIRACLE!
Posted by Craig to the B
what little car is this????? can anyone shed some more light on this?
Posted by masseur
They are talking about the Sony Ericsson Bluetooth CAR-100 accessory.
Take a look at any of these threads for more info
Posted by impy78
I'm really disappointed now. Was looking forward to going doing a bit of joyriding...ah well
Posted by shaggyhog
The improvement is significant- you could actually use the photo on the left (ok not publication quality, but for sending to friends; remember it's a 'toy' camera after all). Why though is the resolution 320x391 when the T610 is 258x352? If taken with a T610 enlarging at that ratio won't give greatest image clarity anyway...

I thought the "flashed" photo was a BIG improvement but saying that I don't think i'd buy it
Posted by Knut.G.
Hello again.
I must again apologize for the late pictures, but I spilt a cup of coffee on my T610, so I am still drying that and hoping it will work. Enclosed however are some P800 shots. It works fine with P800, but you must manually press the shutter button on the phone after you activate the flash. There is more than enough time though.
The pictures without flash were in "night mode" and in low light conditions.
As you can see, closeups benifit much more from the flash than shots from a distance. The flash just doesnt have much range.

Crap either way - get a digital camera...
I have to say, the only time I use my P800's camera is when I'm plastered, on a train home from work, after a night in the pub, late at night - just to prove to the missus that I'm-a coming!
Apart from novelty shots, phone-cams aren't up to much...
Posted by agnesx
thanks for your input! however,
i also mentioned this to gill, have you tried to take a pic at low light but not in night mode?
cos in night mode the pics come out crap either way, the colours are weird..
since you have the flash... why not take it in day mode?
i am sure the quality will be better
also your image seems a little slurred (as in camera moving while taking pic)
did you slow the shutter speed to get a brighter image?
try it with day setting, fastest shutter speed and normal colour saturation and see how that goes?

u know, about the nite mode: when u take pics in nite-mode( t610, WITHOUT flash) the pic gets blurier:(( I`ve tried it so many times and even in low light (one bulb working, lets say) the pic is very blurry.Without the nite mode, it`s better but a bit darker.
