Hi Turk1907,

Before I mention the gripes of the still camera on this - I think I have to just say the Video mode on this handset is nothing short of marvellous!

This is what I've noticed to date:

1. A Red hue in many lighting situations.

2. Purple fringing is quite strong - take a photo through tree branches looking skywards - the branches have a purple edging to them.

3. No Flash if you use manual ISO setting.

4. Flash results at say even 4-5 feet away are underexposed - and have a) very strong red hue and b) lots and lots of noise!

5. If you take a photo in macro mode, it just seems to fire the flash at full power regardless -and wash out the subject entirely.

6. Nearly all my images are "soft" - my old N73 and even my very old k750 produce crisper images. This may be a difference in the post processing, i.e. sharpening. My own test showed the N73 would readily scrap detail in favour of producing a hard edge, the viewty on the other hand seems to be a little too much the other way! n.b. I'm currently trying Serif 6.0 FREE version and sharpening -but I haven't cracked it just yet..

I have also checked the lens ain't dirty etc. and experimented with virtually every permutation of manual setting.

There's an interesting comparison with the K850 and N95 on gsmarena's site, which includes an early pre-production VIEWTY: (http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_k ... ew-162.php) is a good reference - you can see noise and purple fringing on all three handsets output.

N.B. If anyone else is NOT getting any of the above symptoms - please let me know as soon as poss. Cos. that'll mean I've probably just got a dodgy handset, which hopefully can be fixed

For me, the 5mp still camera function is one of the highlights of this handset. It would be fantastic if LG could fix a few of these niggles..
