It's because the phone has a 5mpx CCD image and if you set it to 8mpx the phone can interpolated to 8mpx max.

who'd spend 700$ on a brand that can't be trusted for anything

Samsung started out small and no ones knows about them. Look at them now~~ Also you don't know about it, that doesn't mean everyone doesn't know about it. The built quality and features are there and this phone is a proven success. You should try to explore the world more dude.



Posted by: DMC8260

Well I could not edit my post so I will just say it here.

This is a Triband phone.

GSM 900/1800/1900 MHz (Tri-Band)

I don't know falsely claiming it is 8 mega pixel does not cut it in my book. This does not bode well for the company as far as being around very long as it does not show much integrity. Samsung has been around for many many years and is no small company! Yes they were once a small company but that was back in 1938! It takes a long time for most companies to build. They were already one of the largest electronics (if not the largest as they are now) makers before they entered the cell phone business. An image sensor this small will not gain anything by upping the “mega pixels” as all it will do is add noise. On this size lens and sensor it is going to be maxed out at around 1.3 anyway, so there will be no improvement in image quality in fact likely a reduction of IQ.

I did go to the mobile review of the phone and the following is interesting

Quote:
It would seem that reviewing a device that’s destiny won’t touch majority of the Europeans makes a little sense – for 700-750 USD one could seamlessly pick a solution bearing a label of a top5’s member boasting completely different level of build quality, interface layout etc. There is no doubt about the author expressing its own point of view on the model but the truth is, neither quality of plastic, nor solidity of casing offered by a minor manufacturer, can match that of world’s best companies – you will get even more confident of that after checking out the photos.


The photos are none the less not too bad. They are a bit noisy but that is to be expected. I think if it were better made it would be worth around $250. Figure it is like a $200 camera with a $50 phone thrown in.



Posted by: goofygarber

I don't think you guys understand the megapixel rating at all. Its INTERPOLATED. I.N.T.E.R.P.O.L.A.T.E.D.

Why don't you do a google search and try to figure out what that means, ok? Every low end camera on the market interpolates the images to make it look better. The MP rating on the lens is just the sensor rating, not what the result is after processing.



Posted by: Daemos

Wow...you're selling it for 700USD? According to many sites it's worth 13900 Thai Bahts...that's like 400USD...even with shipping you're making a huge profit.

see:
http://forum2.mobile-review.com/showthread.php?t=47489 for pricing.

I should note that was a few months ago those posts, you can find them on ebay for like 360CND.



Posted by: Cruisin1966

$360 Cdn, don't think so.

eBay prices are around $350 US + shipping + duty and taxes. His price is in $Cdn, not $US. Consider shipping, taxes, and duty (we get killed on that up here) when you compare prices, add a little profit in and I don't think the number will be too far off.

See?

As far as duty/taxes if you know what you are doing you can make that very minimal. It's pretty easy.



Posted by: Cruisin1966

Well, I sit corrected. My bad. Good catch. I rarely ever look at eBay.ca so I would never have caught this one.

5.0MP on a phone is crazy! Anyone have this phone? Hows the battery life?

BoxWave-



Posted by: Cruisin1966

I hear that if you are a medium to heavy user a second battery is in order. For an 1100 mA battery, the rated talk time of 3.5 hours seems really low. Who knows what's running in the background. LOL



Posted by: BoxWave

That flash, I suspect, is a battery killer.



Posted by: Daemos

I always check .ca because I can find items located in Canada, it saves alot of hassle of having to talk to the seller to help lessen duty and taxes.

Samsung FTW! well more so Samsung and LG FTW I like clean looking phones.



Posted by: bodeh6

The picture quality of this phone is awesome. 5MP CCD with auto focus and xenon flash.

If you want the camera from this phone in a better known phone company, look for the upcoming Sofia/K850 from Sony Ericsson.

Why not just buy a REAL camera if you need really good pics? Why risk draining the battery and not have what a phone is supposed to be used for->communication? I never understood why anyone would need such a high megapixel camera in a phone. I guess the phone's FUGLY non-photogenic design needs something to make it worth buying?

It's a matter of people wanting to take high quality pictures whenever they need/want to. It keeps people from always needing to bring their camera along just in case

That doesn't make any sense. If you need high quality 4/5 Megapixel pictures then it's likely you'll want to take your dedicated camera along for that special situation that doesn't happen too often.

If it's a "just in case" situation then it's likely not a case where you "need" 4/5 Megapixel quality. Give me some examples of a "just in case" situation where you would need 4/5 Megapixels. Unless you're constantly looking for UFO's or want to take pictures undercover like a terrorist or are a wannabe Paparazzi I don't see the logic behind a 4/5 MP phone/camera. 1.3 MP is more than enough for those unimportant "just in case" situations.

it's not really the mp's... it's the fact that people want some decent quality pics.... and a camera phone that can do that on the fly without any planning ahead has it's advantages

No one wants to take a crappy picture, even if it is a random situation. A better quality camera phone means those pictures that you want to take when you don't have a camera, won't look like complete crap, which could actually be a problem in some cases (like in an auto accident).

Exactly, in other words these 4/5MP cameras are really pointless and superfluous when you could get "decent quality pics" from 2MP camera phones.

So a 1.3MP or 2MP camera phone is inadequate for taking pictures of an auto accident? I guess the millions of 1.3MP and 2MP dedicated cameras that have been sold are useless too? Wow just wow!

well the thing is if 2.0 camphones were the same as true 2.0 digitcams then it would not be an issue... but right now camera phones do not stack up to a d/c eventhough the mp is equal...

manufacturers are caught up in a mp race and not building the quality that could be had at a lower mp.. so for now we'll need higher mp's means better quality

Most 1.3MP and 2MP camera phones give "decent pics" for those "just in case" situations. I've yet to see one with "crappy pics".

Either that or your standards are quite high or misplaced..no offence....

Of course all of this means absolutely nothing without pics to PROVE how "crappy" a 1.3MP cameraphone supposedly is at taking "decent" pictures. Feel free to offer PROOF to back up your claim.

this is hofo people post camera pics all the time everywhere.. take a look and you'll see how "lovely" the quality of these are.... compare them to the sharp 903, n73 and k7/8 pics and you'll see why

so am i the only one to notice this phone pretty much has the same UI as SE??? is this a rebranded SE?

Supposedly the camera module is from SE and the interface is very close.

Once SE offers something similar, you'll be paying twice as much btw, so if you're just looking for a good camera phone then this fits but if you want a good camera phone in the "refined" SE package, then wait.

Finally got mine, haven't used the camera too much but I did take these pictures last night while I was having a cigarette:
