Pixel increase isn't linear, it's compound.
To double to quality of a 2mp cam you'd need to go to 8mp
To double to quality of a 0.6 you only need to go to 2.4mp
Hence why the jump between 0.6 to 2mp is a vast increase, whereas the 2 to 3.2 isn't anywhere near as noticable, although it IS noticable when printed. Something which you aren't comparing.
You won't notice any "WOW" when you compare the N73 or N93 either as they're still only 3.2!

Just a quick question...when i go to take a pic, and press the cam button halfway down, a red light emit's from the flash then goes when the autofocus sounds...anybody know what this is? is it some sort of sensor? |

Would the red light not be red-eye reduction? seems to help, normal red eye reduction i've seen in the past is usually a quick flash before the main flash, which does result in red eye reduction, 'cos by that point most folk have their eye half shut to blink! lol |

I have compared my K800i with my K750i. All settings in auto in both phones.
K800i (3,2mp)
K750i (2mp)

The red LED is for autofocus, not anti-red eye (which, when enabled, will flash a bit before taking the shot like any 'proper' cam). It only comes on in low light, and when autofocus is on.
The K800 has a variety of preset modes and the post-image processing adjusts a number of things, including sharpness and colour. So, using auto can result in shots that can prove disappointing. Take a landscape shot in auto and the focus can be out, so you select landscape instead - which also enables the image stabiliser (this will crop the image slightly, but gets a sharp picture every time).
Some people will hate the need to plan ahead, but the K800 is trying to be a proper camera! For simple point and shoot, a W810 is probably just as good because 3.2 isn't a massive increase over 2 megapixel. I'm so glad someone has mentioned the need to double both X and Y resolution (i.e. quadruple) the pixel count to really improve the quality.
The real improvements on the K800 aren't the extra pixels but a proper flash, image stabilisation, increased speed and the awesome BestPic mode. I've got a N80 and a pre-release N73 and they can't boast any of these things.

how did you get the N73 and does the battery last as long as the K800 |

Here's a pic I took the other day in an O2 UK store.
I think whilst the colour reproduction may be more vibrant on the K750i than the K800, there is significantly less noise on the K800. Even in good lighting such as this my old K750i would still have noticable noise lines in the darkest areas. |

Just a sugesstion, resize k800 pics to 1024x768, it's much better then. |

Totally agree! The colour range/vibrancy isn't as good as the k750 (yet - i hasten to add), but the images are shaper and the noise is less.
TBH the image quality isn't that much better than the k750 imo, but the Cyber-shot function on the phone is more refined and faster. Image quality is still better than the sample pics i've seen from any of the Nokia 3mpx cameras including the n93, and im not saying that because I have an SE, if you look at the Nokia pics they are full of noise and blurry areas. |

Comaring K800 pictures compared with e.g. K750 reveals that the K800 auto exposure and white balance makes the pictures a bit overexposed (colors becom a bit pale) and a bit bluish.
I think with manual settings you could get better pictures. The auto setting will probably be fixed in forthcomming FW releases. |

The k800 pics looks sharper though and appears to have clearer details specially with textures.
resistance is futile. |
