Sony Ericsson have released the K850i, the latest high-end Cybershot handset.

Packing a beefy 5 megapixel camera with 16x zoom and Xenon flash, the K850 weighs in at 118 grams, ever so slightly more than the earlier K800 and K810 devices. Available in Luminous Green or Velvet Blue and newly released Quicksilver Black, the phone has a 2.2inch 262k colour screen, 40mb internal memory and an M2 slot, with a 512MB stick thrown in for good measure.

Although initially sounding similar to the earlier K series handsets, the K850 does come with a few key improvements. First, the phone is the first to include an automatic lens cap, activated by pressing the camera button. It also comes with a new image manipulation program, Photo Fix, to automatically improve light balance on pictures. Sony Ericsson has also said that while in photo mode, only camera shortcut buttons will be illuminated on the main keyboard, as opposed to all buttons being lit all of the time.

mate, which one u suggest to download?
the best as far as u know laa..
thanks yaa

So far of all the camdriver I've tested, I personally think that Cybershot v7.26 rc3 by adolf vicious is the best camdriver..
Flash on the object wont make the background dark, the color is superbly nice when light condition is very good, Night mode is brighter (flash off) compared to other camdrive..
But the new camdriver Cyber sHUT v2.1 is not bad also.. actually Cyber sHUT v2.2 is available already, but I haven't download it.. you can get it from esato.com
I've swapped my k850i to Viewty, so I don't have k850i for me to play with now..
I wanted to swap back to k850i, but couldn't find anybody to swap cry.gif

OMG!! Cyber sHUT v3.0 camdriver produced file size around 2.8MB-3.2MB when photo quality is set to "Fine"
While if photo quality is set to "Normal", the file size is 1.3MB-1.8MB, which i think is more suitable

Both microSD and M2 works correctly, I know that M2 goes in the opposite way...
Unfortunantly the spring that help ejecting the card works well only with M2...
With M2 there is no problem, with microSD there is no spring that help me ejecting the card.


that's not true about the spring thingy..my MicroSD ejects perfectly..

why dont wan use M2 ?
*
yaya..it's about price matter..microSD is a lot more cheaper than M2..
and i think microSD is much better to invest cause lots of the device today use microSD..
unless you want to use sony product everytime then you should go for M2..

M2 vs MicroSD speed: you can refer here
In the thread:
M2 speed : Write 3MB/sec Read 10MB/sec
MicroSD : Class 2 / Class 4 / Class 6 meaning sustainable MB/sec transfer as in 2MB / 4MB / 6MB

hope these helps
