I'm so excited, looks like i'm getting the K750i after all... found a great deal!
BUT... last week I got this in my mail from Mobile-review.com (not sure what a CCD-matrix exactly is... :o ):
Sony Ericsson K750i gets CCD-matrix [ 12:16 ]
Author: Eldar Murtazin
(...)
All produced models and the models in retail will have a CMOS-sensor, that’s true also for the handsets, which will be produced till July presumably. From August on the camera module will be replaced, there will be some other improvements:
- Better auto focus under poor light conditions
- Higher detailing of items within 5 meters distance compared with the CMOS-module
- Another image processing algorithm, saturated colors
- Better implementation of image processing from macro mode
- Slightly longer time to save images
- Power consumption up by some 5-10%
- Other lenses for the new matrix
The new CCD-module looks the same, you can hardly see the difference with your eye naked. The company will try not to focus on the improved camera in the K750i, at least until all released models will be sold. Then the inscription informing about the CCD camera will appear in promo materials, as well as on the shell. It will happen approximately on the Christmas sales.
(...)As we’ve said many times, it’s not always right to buy a phone at first sales days. Sometimes the manufacturer improves some components, as it happened in this case. (....)
So what do you think? Should I wait till Christmas? (!!)
