Is it worthwhile me selling my 3mp CyberShot and using K750i/W800 instead? |

I'd sell the camera.
Sure, the K750i/W800i do not take the ultimate 2mp pictures compared to some cameras, but theres one thing worth mentioning..
All the time larger megapixel cameras are coming out, replacing cameras like your 3.2mp Cybershot. It might be worth selling the Cybershot NOW whilst you still can, or whilst you can still get a decent price for it.
Leave it much longer and nobody in their right mind would give you more than a few quid for it.

I've kept my DSC-T1. It takes 5MP pictures but I regularly vary it from VGA to 5MP depending on my needs and as good a pictures as my K750 takes, I don't have the same versatility as the cybershot

I have the P7 and a W800, if you wanted I could take two comparison pics if you wanted, but the digital camera will probably be better anyway. |

| My very old Fuji 1.5MP camera produces far, far better pictures than the K750i's 2MP camera. |

this made me laught.
look...i had a Sony P30 1,3 mp camera...i won photo prizes with...now, if i compare daylight photos from k750 and photos from the P30, well, i have to say k750 photos are not worse if not better

and sometimes they are also on par with my fuji s5000
k750 photos are on par with point&shoot cameras, in daylight photography...but they loose in 2 situations - when you need optical zoom, and when you donīt have much light
That new 3mp sharp has this problems solved, but in other hand itīs a big brick of a phone

But the K750 has a flash accessory that performs well.

... and the k750 is far better than Sharp! The only poisitve point for this phone is that it captures breathtaking MP4 videos (and big, big!). But they are condemned to stay in the phone: no compatibility and file size...

As previous posters have stated, it's got more to do with the optics than anything else. The fact that it's a CMOS sensor doesn't really mean much. To me, the lens matters most.
This picture was taken with a CMOS camera...I ain't complaining.

I sold my CX4200 2MP camera. It shipped with auto-focus and glass lense. It took quite good pics for a 2MP camera. The inbuilt flash was okay but only really good for fill-in.
The K750 is also 2MP and auto-focus (but plastic lense). It's pictures are easily as good as the Kodak. The K750 light is stronger than the Kodak's flash.
The Kodak however had the edge in low light due to having less noise. The K750 however has the advantage of the stronger light that can sometimes overcome a lowlight condition.
Over-all, I don't miss the CX4200. The K750 is close enough to the CX4200 in performance that I'd rarely have needed the CX4200.
If it was a 3MP, I don't think it would've changed much. If it had had an optical zoom though, I'd have been tempted to keep it.
Arez's points about optical zoom and K750's weakness in low light are spot on. |

if you really wan't a phone and a camera i think that you should try a N series phone from nokia. N series lentills are from karl zeiss the german cameras manufacturer (of course they are made it from glass not plastic like others phone cameras ) |

actually despite the glass lense, the N series camera's seem to be about the same quality as K750 pictures. The N90 pictures are slightly less clear with slightly poorer colour/exposure.
Video quality is better however. |

you have that right max...the picture quality of se k750i and w800 are much better...the N series pictures are not so real like k750i.
Today i have seen a picture taken with k750i on a kodak paper(9/13 cm ) and i tell you that is superb |

I had a k750i and compared it with a cybershot u20 (base miniature digicam) and the pics where nowhere near as good. A phone is for making and receiving calls on, a digicam is for taking pics with!! it really is that simple. |

I solf my 5MP Sony Cybershot to my younger brother, sure it too much better pics but I hardly ever used it because I never ever had it with me, just couldn't be bothered taking it anywhere. In a couple of days with the K750i I had already taken more pics with it than I ever did with the cybershot. Pic quality of the K750i is fine, unless you are real serious about photography.
I'm just anticipating 2012 when I can take my new SE phone with X20 optical zoom and proper 10mp burst mode and get some decent shots of the London Olympics. |
