hello guys. Having a w995 for a year i decided to go for the x10 mini pro.  I was not satisfied with the camera of the w995 because of low contrast and that purple thingy around buildings but after seeing your photos i think the mini has so much better contrast. How is the camera overall?(compared with a w995?) What really concerns me is that some people say it does not have zoom? Is this true?  I was going for the phone today and now i am not sure

The phone doesn't have zoom that's correct. Nor has it EV contol but it produces splendid photos. 
Here's the camera part of GSM Arena's review of Mini Pro.

thanks for the response. There's absolutely no reason for SE not to include zoom. This is a big letdown. Also reading the gsmarena review I found out that the video recording is in the ancient 3gp format. Will any of these "problems" be solved with a firmware update? Do you guys know if there's a third party camera application? thanks in advance

And that you can even do with MSPaint or Paint.Net etc. on your PC if you really need it - the picture quality will be the same or better.
I'm sure you can find "zoom apps" in the market. I don't miss the zoom at all. If there is zoom I prefer a "real" optical zoom, but that's out of the question given the small housing size. |

i know digital zoom is nothing special, it just that it buys you time. Btw can anyone confirm that the videos recorded are in 3gp format? I really like the phone! Going to get it anw.

100% Agree, Digi zoom is a waste of time on a phone (or even a DC).
Is there anyway to adjust the quality settings for pictures? The photo file size is very small like 500Kb so must be heavily compressed.
Shame about 3gp too, anyway to up the quality settings for video's?
Thanks! |

So I am pretty upset with my in-call volume and wanted to give the new Samsung Wave a try, I did some test shots with my Sony x10 in May and I just did these shots with Samsung Wave a few days ago.
Sony X10 shot in May 2010
Samsung Wave shot a few days ago in Auto mode, as you can see the contrast level or exposure just cannot compete.
I tried again with EV -0.7, little bit better, but I think if I did EV - 1.5 might get closer to the Sony X10
This last shot was basically taking the internal pre-loaded photo editing program and pressing auto correct Exposure and you get this result
I so need new firmware to fix in call volume and 2.1 upgrade for me to recharge my x10 and use it on a daily basis. |
