I'm looking for all SE models that have the same cam module as the W810i, probably the best phone I've ever owned.

I was thinking of upgrading to the W610i as there are some good PAYG deals at the mo but I've read the cam module is not the same as the W810i and lacks the same performance.

The K750i, W800i, W810i, and I THINK the W900i all share the same camera. Those are the only ones with that module.

Early W900s have Sony made cam module, although the newer batch of W900 sold before now uses a different one probably the reason why W900 has no modded cam driver . correct me if i'm wrong

The K750/W800 and W810 all use a Sony made AF module. I believe but can't say for sure that W900 used this very same module.

Infact K750 was the first phone to feature the module, made by Sony specifically for Mobile Phones.

old k750/w800 have CID 36

Somebody posted a very handy list of cam modules in the rumours fourm but I just can't find it. The W900i cam module was not the same as the W800i or W810i as previously thought.

I'll try and fish it out.

No problem! I don't know what the accuracy of the list is like though, as phones like the Z770i and W980i are listed, but they're not even out yet, so I presume they are just guesses. But for W800i/W810i/W900i comparisons, I'd say it would be fine!

for W810 (and maybe W800) there was no revision in cam module (no matter of CID version). unlucky was K750 because various revisions killed initial high quality. first series of K750 with CID49 have old (HQ) cam module

Anybody else remember the original press release by SonyEricsson promising that a revision of the K750i would ship with an CCD sensor?!! Just because ppl that enjoyed the S700i so much complained that the K750i wouldn't have it ... boy where they wrong that the K750i would under perform.

true! Of course imagine the K750 2MP, AF combined with S700 grain free CCD! Now that would have been a killer combo

But still overall I'd rather a K750 over S700

^^ If SE had revised K750 sensor to CCD probably today we have no poor K850 camera quality. as SE won't have the guts to incorporate a weaker CMOS sensor on their successors since people will be so used to it's digicam quality. imagine what will be N95/N82/G800/G810/Viewty's stand when this revision happened long long ago
