i found a way to get better pics with my k800i without spending loads of money on a new phone my homemade camdriver easily produces better colour & perfect exposure time and didn't cost me a penny.


Modding is a bit of a risk as it can void warranty ect....

No Viewty doesnt have any issues with its touch screen. It takes great pic quality (manual focus is a nice feature) and its video capture is even better than the N95 8gb/n82. Flash however isnt as strong as the K850 as its not xenon. Its a strobe flash which is in between. Good phone though overall. If you can live without WIFI go for it.

Detail is not as good as K850 but some will argue that its better as K850/n83 give the look of a processed image. Viewty gives more natual pics. Plus K850 is seriously lacking in colour (not to mention the wierd purple tinge) its pics look dead half the time. You wont have any such problems with the LG Viewty.

check the viewty pics in the photo section and tell me it has less post-processing & is more natural, most of the viewty pics are blurred and awful.

Bullshit!

Well either way the guy doesnt want his K850 any more and I dont blame him.

Go with the G900/Viewty mate!

his not the only 1 who has had trouble with the k850i,

i would remmond the nokia n82, you get a 5megapixel cam almost as good as the k850i's 1 the colours are better anyway, it has a Xenon flash like the k850, you get wi-fi, DVD-like quality video & more features than the k850.

Yeah no doubt about it N82 is the best cam phone out there but he said he didnt like the N95 as its bulky. N82 is even more of a chunky looking phone.

the camera on the n82 is shit, easily outperformed by the old 3.2megapixel on the N73, the n82 is the only cam phone i have seen that can get the exposure time correct, all 5megapixel phones are rubbish the k850 would have done 100 times better with 3.2megapixels no one even uses full 5mp resolution, but every phone manufacture is using 5mp cams on there high-end phones hardly any decent phones with 3.2mp cameras are made anymore i'm waiting for the c702.

ive had k850 and now own the n82 and i can tell you with confident that pictuers are better with the n82.
When i had my k850, 80% of the times i had to worry about the pictures turning dark or blurry. When i press the camera capture button on the n82 im pretty confident that the captured picture will turn out good. The colors are very good and the flash is very powerfull. Stating that any 5mpx camera is rubbish and any 3.2 phone can outperform the n82 is,,, well,,,,, rubbish

in my opinion the n82 out performs the k850 in every indoor picture, with or without flash. i have yet to try it outdoor so i'll let you know.
