I think that the new camera software results in pictures with less noise, from what I have seen so far anyway. The camera is also maybe a bit more responsive during movement. Another improvement I noticed was that I actually managed to get a good quality picture when using the light, maybe its just me but this was hard to do before. |

Yeah, sure 
here you go, old image (3.9 camera driver):
new image (3.10 camera driver):
Both were taken with the same camera settings ("Large" picture size and "fine" quality). I tried to capture the same scene, although the dog wouldn't sit still today
I think the newer one is a bit sharper, but overall there is a only a small increase in picture quality really - nothing major IMO.

That newer pic with 3.10 looks awesome!  Where can I get it (3.10)?
Btw, anyone found a solution to the camera shutter sound?? Got my phone yesterday, and I'd really want to take some pics without noise (=without anyone noticing, that is!  )

No, the picture taken with camera v3.10 doesn't look better than the picture with 3.9 - look at the cleaner at the right side of the picture. It's worse with the new driver... anyway, R2AE033 is by far the best firmware - rock solid!
About the camera sound, go to Davinci and use their service - it's the best! |

I had a 2nd look at the photo. Not better? Huh? I think it's much sharper, look at the bricks! If I take a photo of something, I want the middlepart to look great. And IMO, the pic taken with 3.10 is better. No offense.
Thanx for telling me about Davinci. Is it free? I'll have a look at it! |

Hmm, seems like the picture is sharper in the middle, but cornier in the edges... anyway, it's all about different opinions aint it
No, Davinci isn't free, but the service they provide is cheap, fast and professional... I highly recommend it among the different sites that provide service like theirs. |

Nice to see my pics stirred up some debate
I suppose it is all about opinions, but I think that there is definately some improvement in the image. It does appear a small bit sharper in the centre of the image, but as you said CyberVisitor the edges now seem a bit more 'noisier' in some places. Anyway, bare in mind that this is only one comparison and maybe performance has greatly increased under other conditions. For example (although I have not tested/compared this a lot) I found that the pictures were a lot less noisy when using the light, i.e. when in dark conditions.
@juleyah
I used the total multiserver software to update mine, but if I were you I would look into the DaVinci software, as suggested by CyberVisitor. Mainly because they have apparently found a way to mute the shutter sound when in silent mode, and i'm considering trying it out myself - especially if there is no solution when using the total multiserver option.
@CyberVisitor
Spot on there, R2AE is definately the best... almost perfection in fact. Its amazing how much they have increased the menu speed since the first firmware version.

How much does it cost then? (approx.) You're talking to a poor student here...
Can I also get the camera updated there aswell?

You can't really compare the two pictures, can you? They are taken from slightly different places and with slightly different angles both horizontally and vertically. Based upon artifacts in the background not being there in both pictures, they are probably taken on different days, and therefore probably at different times of day. They seem to be taken in daylight from a window, which will be different on different days based on weather and time-of-day.
So we can not really know anything about v. 3.9 vs. v. 3.10 based on this test.

Correct! I think that most of us "want" the new camera version to be better since we're dissapointed about the camera in the K700i. Fact is that there's not probably much Sony Ericsson can do about it... if we want a better camera we will have to wait for a new hardware version of the K700i. I hope to see a new version/modell of the K700i next year... I like the phone very much, I just want a megapixel camera in it and it's perfect in my opinion... |

I have R2L on my K700, but the camera function is muted in silence mode. Is this feature chagend in R2AE official version?
Best regards

hey, as you will probably guess im a noob to this.
I too have the same problem that my camera driver is the wrong one.
Im not really too sure of my phones history, but can anyone tell me what software/ site i can get to update the firmware so its right.
If anyone knows how to get the tmobile operator things off the phone too it would be helpfull.
thanks very much, Andy |
