well
i was reading a review of 5mp cams , comparing
nokia , SE , samsung , and LG
so , one point they were talking about that SE in K850
is using lower quality lens than nokia
so its no use how hard they will try to make good software for it
it cant be much better cuz the lens limitation..


so , just wanted to know , is this true???
i know we cant forget one part, cuz for anything , it needs good hardware
and good software

but anybody know for sure the quality of K850 lens and hardware??
cuz as much as i remember, ppl had the same issue about K800, but after
few updates, it gave much different result and became the best 3.2 cam..

What I think is that the lens in the k850 isn't "crap" but it isn't that awesome either..
And I also think the software can still be a lot better so actually i think it's both the lens and software.

On the subject.. tbh i've always had this thought that SE have been cheap on the lens part since the k750.
I still believe that both the k800 and k850 use some sort of upscaled version of the k750 lens..and therefore need the well known oil-paint filter..as well has other compressions.

Pop a xenon lens on the k750 and I believe the difference will be very small.

Which was fine when K750 launched but should have improved a lot by now... Like Samsung, Nokia and even LG to some extent have done...
