New Camera/Phone

Post by **tandino** » July 22nd, 2006, 19:51

Just got my spanking new Sony Ericsson K800i yesterday and I must say the camera is fucking brilliant.

I took this yesterday afternoon in my room

I'm excited about all the pictures I'll be taking in the coming months!

On a side note/tangent, does anyone else find that flickr seems to lower the quality of their photos a bit?

Woo! I'm hoping to upgrade to one of those. The joystick on my K700i is utterly fucked.

It certainly lowers the resolution to 1-3Mpix, but it's impossible to lower the quality of my pictures

I got a £40 Phillips phone that did 1Mpix photo's as my "real" phone only does 0.3kpix, but wasn't very happy with it, so I got a £50 3Mpix Vivatar digicam which was about the same size. I still take rubbish pictures, and it's still rather poor in artificial/low light - but you need an SLR* with low shutter speed and a tripod to get decent pics in the twilight world I inhabit.

It does have a rather nice litle magnetic Supar Macro Powar lens though. Obviously I'm not expecting fantastical results, buying bottom-end stuff.

* or whatever the modern-day digital equivalent is

My old one is a K700i too and the joystick went fucked on that one also. This phone is fucking lovely though, I'm liking it a great deal thus far...

yes, yes it is. but im sure you will be glad to know my k750i is almost identical, apart from the fact the speaker is quite a bit louder. just thought you might like to know, seeing as mines the older model XD

Yeah they are ridiculously sharp pictures - the ones on flicker are actually reduced unless you go pro so it's sharper in reality.

Apparently it's the first phone to have an actual Sony Cyber-shot camera in it. At 3.2 MPix though I'd expect a bit of sharpness. I expected and was rewarded.

*goes off to take pictures of moths*

[EDIT]

Sorted, paid £13.77 to upgrade my account for a year to a pro one, pics look better now.

Don't the packs in Canada (of Cigarettes, not PSPs) have large pictures of screwed up dental work or a picture of a dirty lung?
