Best 5MP Camera Phones?

slysy · 19 May 2008 at 20:51

I currently have an SE K810i and am looking for an upgrade. What phones are worth looking at? I'm looking for something with a good camera that takes low light shots well.

The SE C902 will be out soon, looks like a rather nice piece of kit

Worth having a look at I think anyway.

N82. Xenon flash, half-decent optics, good video recording abilities and it has the ability to upload straight to the web.

G800 is much the same but has a 3x optical zoom, although I think the N82 is better at video.

Its nowhere near in all the tests - I believe even the K850i and N95 are better..

Picture quality on the preview is rubbish and doesnt have a proper flash... puts it out the running imo.

My friends have both the k850i and N95 and neither seem quite as good, the G800 also has image stabilisation, face detection and manual control for things like ISO.

The G800 is shown to be considerably better than the k850 here.

Photo above was taken with the Nokia N95 at old trafford after the Manchester united v Liverpool premiership game.

So for me it has to be the Nokia N95 with its 5MP camera phone.

N82 looks amazing but doesn't seem to be on the O2 web site. Is it discontinued or something?

Taken with N95 8gb latest fw which is either 17 or 18 at highest quality setting. I find quality is OK for mobile but not near a £100 camera.

edit = fw is actually 20

I heard you have to get it in store or something strange like that :confused:

defiantely not the k850i tbh, my phone seems to have an over powerful flash and really screws up most photo's! This include setting the desired ISO levels. I compared it with my mates k850i on exactly the same settings as my own and his camera produced a much better picture.

So basically with the k850i it would appear to be pot luck!

However the LG Viewty has a tremendous camera

The N82 is what you want - absolutely superb phone.

The flash is better, the camera/lens is the same.

Dunno about photo's, but I could'nt believe that quality of the video that my wifes N95 took. Looks awesome when connected up to the TV. Considering its a phone of course...
