Personally, i think all digital zoom is pretty crap. Its not actually zooming in on the picture to get finer detail, its just bringing the existing image closer to you.
I dont care if the Japanese model has 16x zoom as opposed to the 8x of the S700, give me true optical zoom anyway.
Hopefully, SE will put optical zoom into their follow-up to the S700.

Very true.
Below is an example from my nk7610 (1MP)
Normal 1MP Pic
4x Digitally Zoomed 1MP Pic
(remember esato reduces the size for the forum)
Digital zoom clearly degrades the quality immensely, so despite a 1.3MP camera, at 8x zoom, the result will be horrible.

Actually 1.3 mp is good enough 4 me. I have no idea how u guys can open a 7mp picture and scroll all the way to the bottom of the page to view it, then all the way to the other side unless ur monitor is 60 inches. to me its a hassle. plus trying to send even 5mp pictues using :bt: or usb, or whatever can be really long process.
optical zoom would be great though

I presume that people have read the first review here on Eldars site:
http://www.mobile-review.com/review/sonyericsson-s700-en.shtml
Very disapointing- it has the exact same software as my K700.
I though that SE would have made it even more cutting edge.
The only thing going for it is the big screen and memory card slot. |

Actually i think it's a S710i.
The same photo appears on the Sony Ericsson Developer newsletter in a S710i related section.

*reading Eldar's review*
" in a couple of months there will be a classic designed version of the S700 which will have another screen (smaller in dimensions and resolution) but the same another features ... Unveiling of this model should be expected on September, 19 th of current year..."
Speculation? Knowledge?

this one is going to be the F900(maybe the name is wrong] - the real successor of the T610
but i don't think that they are going to get it on the market this year |
