I like this time saver. Many of the most used camera menu settings can be changed by pressing one of the phone keys. You do this by pressing the right photo key and browse through all 8 available scene selections. Auto-focus which actually works and help you capture pin sharp photos.
A red led light is automatically turned on in dark environments to help the camera auto-focus. I do not really see the point in having this because all basic PC image editing software can do the same thing much better. Lens protection. A stylish sliding lens cover protects the lens from getting fingerprints. The cover lacks some kind of lock and unintentional opens from time to time.
Video quality. The K can record video in x as a maximum resolution which does not impress me much. When the K was announced, I was told by Sony Ericsson officials that the video camera would have a QVGA resolution x pixels but they have obviously abandoned this. No more torch- and video light. You can't use the K as a torch as you could with the K The Xenon flash will only flash when you capture a photo and not when recording a video clip.
Pictures can be printed directly from the phone if connected to a PictBridge enabled printer with the included USB cable. Download and read 7 user manuals from the Sony Ericsson website. All this is recommended reading. All in all, the K is an excellent point and shoot camera capable of producing very sharp 13x10 cm prints. The colours produced with firmware version R1CB are natural saturated but maybe a little cold blueish.
This is a white balance issue and can be adjusted by the user by changing the white balance manually. K tends to sharpen low light photos too much for my taste but daylight images are excellent. Sharpening should be the last editing done to an image. Colour corrections, changing the size and other adjustments should be done first. The noise on low light pictures is very evident. My guess is that we can expect more user control in upcoming devices and that sharpening is one of the image processing steps it will be possible to reduce.
One of these settings could be to set the compression level. I have a tip to Sony Ericsson which is something that has been discussed a lot in the Esato forum. The advice is to let the user have the option to set JPEG file compression level them self. The two keys on top of the display are handy shortcuts to the K photo folder. Pressing the right hand key list the latest captured pictures in a 3x3 thumbnail table and scrolling to older pictures is done with the navigation key.
The left key opens the last capture picture in fullscreen. This is a rather handy function I use often. Photo Blogging Sony Ericsson has signed up with Google and together they are offering K owners an easy way to publish content to the web. You are supposed to capture a picture with the camera and then write a title and something descriptive along with the photo before you push the Blog this button and upload the photo.
Nothing prevents you from using one of the other images found on the device but at least one image must be uploaded. When you have published the first photo, you will see a page with information about the address to you personal blog. Using the provided information directs you to a web address, but the address can be changed to an address with a less cryptic name.
Your blog is available immediately and can be viewed on he phone or a PC. Sending MMS-messages are limited to the maximum kb by the phone, but your operator may have a smaller transfer limit per message. The Email application is quick even with a large number of emails. In one of my email accounts, I have currently messages in the inbox and of them are unread. Browsing the list of these downloaded email headers is fast, and the number of messages does not seem to slow down the browsing. One of the options is to download only the subjects of new email messages.
The other option is to specify a size limit for the messages to download. Messages over the set limit are only partially downloaded. The full message can be downloaded later. Switching between email accounts can easily be done by selecting from a list of available accounts.
Downloaded emails will not be deleted when you switch between the accounts. Ki has a new and improved spelling functionality. You all probably know how T9 predictive text works so I am not going to explain that part. When writing a message or note, and the T9 spell check and the T9 Text Input is activated, the NWP will predict next word previously used in a sentence.
It can be very useful, but requires some practice before you get used to actually look at text while you write. RSS is a kind of subscription service for news, forums and blog services. Adding new RSS feeds to the K is easily done by entering the address manually or when you are browsing the internet with the phone. Updates can be set from every hour to once a week.
When the phone has downloaded the latest RSS headlines and if any of these are new, a small icon will be shown in the topmost status line. Conclusion The K is promoted as a Cyber-shot phone. A name only dedicated to the best digital cameras from Sony. I enjoy taking photos with my phone, and when using a K, the results are acceptable. It is probably one of the best camera phones out now. To bad it is sold without enough memory. The operating system is thoroughly tested since probably only the camera application is new.
The phone has never stopped responding during the test period and I can not say that about all phones I have used lately. Communication via wire or wireless just works. I can see that part of the Sony Ericsson communication suite is the same as the one shipped with the last Ericsson that is Ericsson, and not Sony Ericsson phones. I had trouble installing and set up the application suite on two PC.
So it is room for improvement with the included communication application. The Internet app is as good as it can be. It supports full screen and landscape mode. It has adopted the Smart-Fit thing from the Opera browser, and it works even with badly written web pages. The exterior is good looking and I think the case except the lens cover material should be able to bear a bump or two.
This is a unique fifteen-digit number that distinguishes your Sony Ericsson phone from other phones. What screen dimensions does my Smartphone have?
