@Max, You and quite possibly you ALONE has been very thorough, not only in your personal documentation but here on various threads of photos whether or not cam-driver was used.

Photos you've posted are always from the phone - unless zoomed in on on particular thread that we talked about = K800 not being a true 3MP cam or something to that title - but that is isolated and due to pick out pixelization if any; thats another dispute hehe.

@Alexandra will you take this photo as a piece offering, please?

Taken from my K790a just 2days ago. These Monarch Butterfly's love to dance in the light wind. Took me 3mins just to get a quick shot of them not dancing about (up/down further away above my head, etc). Until today I had no clue what AE lock meant but I think I do now.

Yes, I understand and I only use my own experience to judge. I'd love to post a thorough thread all about it with comparison photos etc etc, but it's alot of work to do it properly, for something I know already and we are moving on to a new camera phone now, so I don't have much motivation.

I don't mean to expect everyone to take my word for it, only to give encouragement about driver modding so K800 can be even better! And also to learn all the tricks for getting the most out of K800. But I will allways be loyal to the K750, just as I still never to this day have dissed the K700 despite it's obvious flaws. Our honourable member Chili has proven the K700 worth with his incredible pictures in the K700 pictures thread. So when Chilli says us boys arguing about our toys are no match for Chili and his spear-like K700 (now he sports a still non-AF K610), take his word for it!

Max edit out the word "honourable" now!!! Hi guys just a friendly tip, if you won't do much macro (small objects) shooting, autofocus isn't needed at all. The very small fixed aperture of non-AF cameras (including camera phones) ensures perfect focus from about a foot and beyond. Besides, if you plan to move to serious photography, you'll turn your nose up on autofocus, auto-everything cameras. The best cameras have an option for manual control (if not fully manual). Technology is good but it can't replace human creativity you know, and manual controls will truly unleash you. Btw you might want to click on the www under my name, there are some pics there taken w/ non-AF cameras. It's actually Max's account, i just contribute a bit... Hey Max, where are those macro photos??

Though I have to AGREE that there are TIMES that the K750 TAKES 'better' images compared with the K800 . . . I've made this TEST in INDOOR-shots . . . my K750 with an mxe-60 xenon flash !

Take a LOOK here: K750 taken INDOOR with ALMOST no-lights on, assited by an mxe-60 xenon flash !

not bad at all. but k810i takes little sharper/better indoor pics.

@prom - That images should (flower/butteryfly) have been TAKEN - sharper . . . that what it is ! Also, considering that it was an OUTDOOR-shot . . . Nice though ! [addsig]
