That's exactly what I mean, It's not easy to get that sharp photo with any phone, but the point is that you can't get it with every camera phone no matter how hard you try. Your macro photos look great, but I think that everyone is ''fighting'' with you over K850i camera quality, because they're disappointed that it's not that easy P&S camera they've expected.

@salih...that pic is awesome, BUT ive seen many more i-mobile macro pictures (on the web) who dosent have the same sharpness....(but yes, that pic "glow" ....sometimes you get this "lucky" shoot (if you understand what i mean)

A lot of people seem to have exactly the same opinion about the K850. Comparing the K850 and the i-mobile 902 I would say that the K850 is easier to operate, but if you put both of these in the hands of a photographer then see which one he/she would choose... (probably the i-mobile if he/she wants to take good staged (composed) photos but the K850 for "action" shots).

About that macro shot: I got it on the second attempt. My first attempts a few months ago after buying this camera phone were miserable failures. And this one is not handheld. I had to use my new mini-tripod.

if you want a P & S (point and shoot camera) buy a w810, w800 or a k750..............k800, k810, k850 demands more "skill"/work....(or plain luck...he he he

the negative with k750, w800, w810, is lack of real flash and some other important camera-features........
(also remember that this 3 phones produce crappy low light, indoor pictures.....k850 have a awesome allround camera.....see you

I thought Id be loyal to SE after being ecstatic with my K800 but I but the K850i and it just doesn't compare.
I've been trying to swap for an N95 in the phone shop but they won't do it! So, I'm getting a replacement next week and I plan on selling it or trading for an N95.
I just generally dislike the phone now so I'm looking for faults.

MXE - 60 Xenon flash add on is less then £10 for the K750 / W800

Never took a crappy low light or indoor picture with my K750, took a slightly better picture of my mates new car at night using just the led light against his K800 with the xenon flash ( that upset him ) for a 2 mp camera phone K750 takes brilliant pictures.

Its not difficult for the average K750 / W800 owner to work out when to use macro, night mode or use the led light or even the add on MXE - 60 flash if they have one

The K850 is just the latest line in camera phone disappointments from the once great Sony Ericsson.

Ive never been impressed with the K800 or the K810 & now the K850 has come along & its just like the previous two models, over hyped, im sticking with my K750.

Well Said PowerLee, In my case I might be going back to K750i or W810i!

You see the problem is you ram your opinions down every ones throats the whole time and suggest no one but you with your superior skills and knowledge knows what they are doing. The whole point of a Camera phone is point and shoot if you want or need to alter settings and set a shot up you might of well of got a dedicated Camera that will do the job far better. What ever you say the point of a camera phone is point and shoot to capture the moment, not ten minutes later after the moment has passed but your device is now ready.

I would like to know exactly how many pictures you discard before you are happy to show one here? and also just how long you spend before taking each shot? Shame what ever you answer is there is no way of knowing if you would be telling the truth or not and personally i would find it hard to believe anything you say.

It will be interesting to see just how good the N82 Camera smart phone is when compared to the K850.
