Today I compared Canon PowerShot A40 2 MP Digital Camera with my K750i. Here are the results.  This Canon camera belongs to my friend, it was bought four years ago in 2002 when it was released. It was very expensive back then. We bought it four our youth newspapers we had in 2002-2003. And when the newspapers team break up, my friend got the camera
because he was the main editor of our newspapers. So we havely used it for the past four years. Now when i have K750i I decided to compared it with this cam because both cams are 2 MP. I just don't know why didn't I remember to do this before. I didn't have so much time so i shoot everything on my way to work .
This is the camera I'm talking about.

So here's my test :
Sony Ericsson K750i 2 MP Camera Phone - Settings: Picture size: 1632 x 1224, Picture quality: Fine and everything else auto. (Original R1CA021 Camera Driver 5.3)
Canon Power Shoot A40 2 MP Camera - Settings: Picture Size: 1600 x 1200. Picture quality: Super Fine and everything else auto.

In didn't compared night shots, because my MXE-60 hasn't arrived yet. I'll do it when I get it, aldough indoor night shoots can be compared, if you turn the leds and night mode on, but outdoor night shots can't be compared, I mean it wouldn't be fair because Canon PowerShot A40 has real Xenon flash.

Great review, but its old news.. Maybe if you compared a K800i to a 3.2MP cam, if you  you'll find many threads on K750i Cam comparisons

There are always new threads here with same questions about K750i, should I buy it, is k750i a good phone, what's the camera like...and so on. Thanks for your compliment ''Great review''

@tranced - You're welcome
Me too, at least until they release 5 MP phone, with real Xenon flash, dvd video quality recording, A2D...all in K750i sized phone. I mean I was really happy when I first saw that SE is going to release 2MP phone because as I said I was using this Canon 2MP Dig.Cam. for the past 4 years. But I was still a little bit sceptical, if I would be able to use it as a real dig. cam. But when I finally got it I couldn't believe my own eyes, especially because before I had K700i. K750i is simply the best 2 MP phone camera in the world, we all konow it was awarded by TIPA for best imaging mobile device 2005.

I would have been rather shocked if the SE had come out on top! Having said that - the SE's lens is tiny & the phone is also tiny but the pictures it takes are almost unbelieveable for a phone!
I have taken some stonking pictures with my K750i. OK, it doesn't really compare to my Olympus C-4040z but I don't carry the Olympus everywhere & it doesn't fit into jean pockets.
I got my girlfriend a W810i & its screen is much better, though I haven't compared its camera but presume it's no worse. The W810i's music s/w is far better than the K750 - especially when trying to navigate through 3GBs of mp3s.

@busb - I was suprised by that too, K750i lens is so small comparing to Canon's, and still it takes excellent photos. Yes W810i, has the same camera as K750i (W800i,W810i,D750i,W900i,P990i and ofcourse K750i all have the same camera). Your photos are great. You can check some more photos I took with my K750i here:

@tranced - I figured out one trick, when you're developing your photos, do it in 9x13 size, they will come out perfect, and one more trick is when you're taking photos indoore at night with leds and night mode on, photos will be much better if your picture size is set to 640x480, try it you'll see the difference. I can't wait for my MXE-60 to arrive so I can test it, aldough it's bad that we can't use it when we want, becuase phone decides when there is no enough light.

lucky for you people who have those 2MP cam phones... i'm still quite contented with my own 1.3MP cam phone, although i must admit reading stuffs like this (the K750 camera is great!) tempts me to replace my current phone... i think i'll stop reading these kind of posts, they are 'poisoning' my mind. hehe, just kidding...
EDIT: i saw the quoted text below in the first post:

outdoor night shots can't be compared, I mean it wouldn't be fair because Canon PowerShot A40 has real Xenon flash.

correct me if i'm wrong, but is the MXE-60 accessory of the K750 contains a xenon flash, as stated in the MXE-60 specifications link of the  Philippines website? if it does have a xenon flash, i suppose you can use it to compare outdoor night shots. just cover the 'sensor' of the MXE-60 to make it believe that the light in the surrouding area is insufficient, thereby making it flash...

@vrl29 - If you decide to change your phone I advise you to go for K750i or W800i,W810i,D750i,W900i or P990i because they all have the same 2 MP camera. I must admit that photos taken by S700 are quite good, I was immpresed when i saw some photos taken by S700 considering it's 1.3 MP. But then again S700 is the best 1.3 MP mobile phone just as K750i is the best 2 MP mobile phone. I'm not quite sure if K790/K800 is the best 3.2 MP mobile phone, because I saw some comparison between K800i, N73, N93 & D900 and it was tight. Let's just hope SE brings out best 5 MP mobile phone.
