Sony Ericsson Cybershot K850

Sony Ericsson Cybershot K850
Sony Ericsson has just announced the Cybershot K850 cameraphone that comes with a mind-blowing 5 megapixel autofocus camera with a real xenon flash, a dedicated shutter button, and the ability to record video in QVGA resolution at 30 fps. This photo-centric handset also boasts Sony Ericsson's BestPic multi-shot capability in addition to the Photo Fix system that adjusts photo brightness levels with a single click. Users would be pleased to know this handset not only takes pretty pictures (still won't beat a dedicated digital camera though) but is a capable communications tool with quad-band GSM/EDGE/HSDPA support, MP3 playback, 40MB of internal memory, and support for both M2 and microSD cards. Pricing details are unavailable, but we do know the K850 will be released in Q4 this year. Sounds like a pretty solid handset on all accounts.

For those having trouble with picture quality. a great tip is that the light censor builds up dirt (its just under the flash. Use a cocktail stick or similar to get rid of the dirt and it will take much better photos. Whwen dirt gets in there it thinks its darker than it is and thus over does it with the flash causing horrid pics. Hope that helps!!

I've had the K850 for several weeks and I think there is something wrong with the camera, either mine is screwed or the phone is not as good as it's supposed to be! the pics are not at all clear!! I've tried playing with all the setting but its still not working. Has anyone had this problem? or any problems with the camera?

Thanks

To the last post, I have exactly the same problem, it's very frustrating, and sony or 02 will not fix it. I am cheesed off to say the least, it's a great phone up until last week when it started switching itself off all the damn time!

Have owned the k850i for approx 3 weeks, got to say it is fantastic. Previous phone was the k800i, a great phone however Sony have made great improvements with the functionality and technology of the k850i. This phone is completely redesigned, unlike the 810i which was a k800i in drag. N95 is just to big, bulky and software too complex as compared to windows mobile.

when you use this phone u will forget about the keypad and all the other stuff, Sony Ericsson's products are a pleasure to have, to look at and to use.
Best phones ever looking at their program their graphic quality, the sound quality and the features it acquire.
I will get this phone when it's available

This phone is not a smart phone and obviously won't have the exact spec's as the hideously grotesque and enormous n95, but it's battery life, picture quality, sound quality, software and general useability will be leagues ahead of the n95 dinosaur. As for the keepad you are all complaining about it's supposed to be touch sensitive, as well as having 3 touch sensitive buttons on the screen, so you won't accidently press 2 and 5. Awesome phone sony

I like the Nokia 3310. Better than this phone, cos it has a black and white screen which this phone does not seem to have. Go for Nokia 3310.

This phone looks amazing. My only worry is the keypad as i feel i might easily press 2 or 5.

either way i dont care this phone will be amazing. i have a k800i and i've been drooling over this for about 6 months now since i heard rumours about a 5MP camera-phone from SE.

I'll get this in October when my current contract ends.

i have sony erricson phones for the past 2 years (k750i, k800i, k810i and w880i)... all those phones except for the w880i gave me amazing pix... picture quality of the SE's are better than the nokia phones.

1st impressions dont like the look
but think you shud nvr judge a book by its cover

so hopefully looks can b deceiving in the k850i's case.

I like everything about this phone except the keypad (1st impression). But sometimes its just look not a realy good keypad but when you try to use it then you'll know for real.

Anyway..the performance and great functions does make me crazy for SE K series especially this one. I dont mind internal memory since its enough already, If you want more you still have choices of M2 & SD cards.

And nowadays I don't realy like expensive nokia phones.Their Camera, picture and sound quality won't be better Sony's technology.

i think the keypad looks horible and spoiled the great looks of the handphone.If the keypad is like the W850i, it will be better and the handphone will surely be famous because of the looks quality, and features. thats all.
