N 93 uses a 3x opti zoom however with a 3.2mp digi zoom camera I guess Sony ericsson k800i has a better camera quality.

@ coolendra : thanx 4 the price update man.I think its more wise to wait a couple of days so that the price comes down to 16-17k.

Moreover with 3G about to get launched soon makes more sense to wait for K800i instead of the K790i

Still the current price is very good. The cheapest for 3MP camera phone. And one of the best too.

FYI, optical zoom is actually far better than digital zoom. Digital zoom only crops the image, while optical zoom actually zooms in on what your aiming at.

I understand that optical zoom is pure zoom and digital zoom is breaking up pixels and expanding it..........but if u read reviews then u'll understand that the k790i has better cam quality than n93

The w950i is a Symbian based phone. Also is the P990i. The k790i camera has the best flash in the market. It is a xenon flash usually found in digital cameras.

Auto Focus and Macro mode are also very good.

Bought the Sony Ericsson K790i Cybershot phone on the 4th of this month for Rs.17500/-:cool:
Do u guys think the price is right in Calcutta?

Miss the symbian aspect of Nokia but if u consider as a phone the cybershot's an awesome 3.2cybershot cam,a mp3 player & a radio which comes bundled with a phone!!!!

There is no match for the camera quality of K790i. Its the best.

Its price is good. Form which shop did you buy it??

Yes I would like to agree to that as I compared the night time pics taken on my colleague's N93 to my K790i.....they dont even compare.....no matter how good the cam is Nokia still has problems of grainy pics after the sun sets:) :) ...on the other hand the k790i flash works wonders at pitch black environs.....anyways one observation is that the flash if used during the day burns the images......

^^If u are from Cal then probably u'd know Bhajanlal's next to theatre road Kookie jar....

I'm from Kolkata. Using K800i. I usually buy from Capital Chowringhee or Raj Telepoint at Fancy Market. They sell original and give the best price for me. Will check your shop. Enjoy.
