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.

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.

contrast & color reproduction of 902 image is good but it's bit grainy. There is no doubt that 902 is more than just a mobile phone. Even though it has few negatives with its camera but it is beyond comparison of mobile phones like k850 or n95 when it comes to image quality. Its images are almost comparable to p&s cameras. I hope SE improves its imaging hardware in its next big cybershot phone. |

The Olympus is a true P&S camera. It has in-camera noise reduction and no manual ISO selection. Look carefully at the photos. You see evidence of similiar noise reduction artifacts in the Olympus photo as in photos from CMOS-based camera phones and I assume that this is due to the Olympus choosing a higher ISO value than the 902: 128 vs 50.
In this comparison the 902 seems to be better, in my opinion. Less noise and slightly better white balance as the colors are more correct.
BTW: the sensor size in the Olympus is the same as in the 902: 1/2.5"

So you have the tracking number for the parcel? Three days delivery time? Looks normal to me. If you haven't paid extra for fast delivery then the courier will hold the package, slowing it down on purpose, to make sure it doesn't reach you faster than what you have paid for.

Well, i too got it from eBay. Initially for one or two days FedEx did not update the status. I think when in doubt it is better to confirm from your shipper that he indeed handed over the package to FedEx. from which seller did you buy? |

My seller chose DHL for delivery, maybe due to destination (Oman). They also delay the delivery if it would take less than two days.

Well, when they show status as "Package data transmitted to FedEx" it means that the package is not yet handed over to FedEx, i got this info from FedEx customer service in regards to a query relating to some other delivery and when they received the package you get the "Picked up" message. I think if you don't see any change in the status, perhaps you can write to FedEx or your shipper just to confirm. |
