The Sony Ericsson K850i is one of the best camera phones on the market today. Not only does it offer 5 megapixel resolution, it also offers auto-focus, all manner of automatic and manual aids for capturing the perfect picture, and comes complete with Sony’s seal of approval courtesy of its highly-respected CyberShhot brand.

At the end of the day, though, it is still just a camera phone, which begs the question: just how well does a camera phone compare with a dedicated digital camera?

One of the surprises of the year has been the resurgence of the camera phone. Whereas 2007 was meant to be the year that mobile TV took off, it’s actually died a quiet death while a plethora of stunning new camera phones that really perform well have emerged to take its place.

Nokia began the trend with the Nokia N95, a feature-rich Sat-Nav phone that also comes with a great quality 5 megapixel camera. Hot on its heels was the superb new Sony Ericsson K850i Cyber Shot phone, which will be out very shortly. The two other competitors come from the Korean giants LG and Samsung, with the LG KU990 Viewty and Samsung G600 respectively.

Read on to find out which of these is the best 5 megapixel camera phone on the market today?…

For camera phone lovers out there, there are two new beasts about to go head to head in the form of the Sony Ericsson K850i, which will be released soon, and the Nokia N95 super-phone.

Both phones follow a different design philosophy.

The Nokia N95 is packed to the teeth with features, including GPS Sat-Nav, HSPDA and Wi-Fi, whereas the Sony Ericsson K850i is first and foremost a dedicated camera phone.

Where they come clashing together, though, is in the quality and resolution of their cameras.

Both phones, you see, sport a 5 megapixel camera with auto-focus and a wide range of camera features to help you take the best picture.

Indeed, such is the quality of the photos that either phone can take that it’s fair to say they’re the best camera phones on the market today.

But which one is best? Only a Sony Ericsson K850i vs Nokia N95 shoot-out can decide for sure.

More video reviews, this time of the Sony Ericsson K850i. The K850i is Sony Ericsson’s latest, and top of the range, Cyber Shot phone, and comes is seriously high-specced. It comes with a 5 megapixel camera with auto-focus and Xenon flash, and a range of other juicy features that make it more camera than phone.

The review above provides a good overview of the K850i, although annoyingly,the camera wasn’t working on the prototype device being reviewed! Fortunately there are a few more reviews after the jump that show the K850i in better detail. I’ve also got a few pics and videos taken by the K850i, but I’ll post them later.

Sony Ericsson has announced the Sony Ericsson K850i Cyber-Shot phone.

The K850 is another of the major phone announcements made by the company today, and is all set to be the top of the range Cyber-Shot phone when it’s released in a few months’ time.

The K850 comes with some excellent features:

5 megapixel camera complete with auto-focus and a xenon flash, Tri-band HSDPA for super-fast uploading and downloading of pictures and data, plus a unique Photo-Fix feature that optimizes the shot according to the available light.

OK, you want more details on Sony Ericsson’s new phones – here they are:

Sony Ericsson K850i Cybershot phone

• Cybershot 5 Mpx
• Xenon Flash
• HSDPA / EDGE
• 2.2″ 262,000 colour screen
• BestPict / Photo Fix / Pictbridge.

Camera sounds nice, good to see HSDPA in a Sony Ericsson phone, but the small screen and its limited colour range is disappointing, particularly for a phone so focused on photography. Mind you, a 5 megapixel CyberShot camera phone with xenon flash should be capable of some excellent photos.

Leaked pictures of the Sony Ericsson K850i CyberShot phone have emerged. The K850i is a 5 megapixel camera phone that Sony Ericsson has been rumoured to be working on for some time.

What regular readers will note is how little this genuine pic of the K850i looks like the now-clearly faked version that emerged a few days ago.

The K850i is going to be one beast of a camera phone. Sony Ericsson are renowned for selling the best quality camera phones on the market, and the K850i is going to be the clear market leader.

With 5 megapixels and xenon flash, the quality of the K850i’s pictures should be amazing.
