In most ways it was the best cybershot (up to that point). There is only one basic problem with the K850 and that is the purplish tint to reds. Otherwise it is the best cybershot. I could take better photos with the K850 than with K800, although of course I would correct the colour tint in photoshop. That's sort of cheating, but it's worth keeping in mind that most serious photographers commonly correct colour, contrast, brightness and other factors of their photos. Even DSLR's aren't always perfect in colour reproduction.
So I think if the end product (after editing) is better, then it still counts.
It's the things that can't be corrected post-processing that are most important for a digital camera to be good at. The K850 had good detail (compared to competitors) and excellent manual controls so the photographer has more to work with.

I know, but yet some people haven't had any problems at all. The W910 was also accused of the same kind of unreliability, yet most of the people I speak to who own one love it to bits and haven't had any major problems at all (mine included).
I'm not saying there were no problems with K850, but I think it's more a quality control issue and initial firmware issue than a hardware design issue. Those handsets that don't have any problems (especially after the first firmware update that sorted alot of probs) are more numerous than the lemons, it's just that the lemons get more airplay.
