i have the s700,k750,k850+c905.
the s700 still manages better outdoor pics than the k750+k850,havent had much time to test the c905 outdoors.
i stopped using my digital camera when i got my k850 which shows how far phone cameras have come along.

definitely I disagree. K750 camera lost a lot of quality just after CID49 models appeared with revised camera hardware. I have CID36 and CID49 cameras, results from them are extremely (!) different. K750 CID36 was, is and will be great (W800 and W810 too)

EDIT: old times...

Well the old high ends are not the same as the new mid end phones... Anyway, they differ in platform, modules and software a lot even if the interface may look the same on some models. Of the old high ends the K750 was one of the best 2mp phones. And W900 for videos in it's time... I know they lack many features compared to these new models today, but for their time, the high ends were great. Legend phones as you may say.

K510's camera comes close to the S700's.



if your reference was the GSMArena review then you're wrong. i had both of them before. s700 totally beats k510 indoors. and has better contrast outdoors. k510 has a slight greenish tint.

The CID 36 camera module will plug straight in to a CID 49 phone then just flash the firmware to get the 4 x zoom back on the large picture setting.
