2MP Cameraphone Shootout: Sony Ericsson’s K750 vs. Nokia’s N90

Here is a great idea: take two camera phones and pit them against each other. Well that is exactly what Mobile Burn did with their look at the Sony Ericsson K750 versus the Nokia N90.

Ever since the Nokia N90 and Sony Ericsson K750 were announced, people have been speculating as to which device would take better 2 megapixel photos. Would it be the N90, with its Carl Zeiss designed optics, or the compact K750 with its parent Sony’s electronics? Both devices have pretty similar specs when it comes to their cameras: both are 2 megapixel units, both have auto focusing capability, and both have a history of cameras in the family (Sony’s digital cameras and Zeiss’ lenses). The K750’s camera has a slightly wider field of view, and seems to be a bit “faster” than the N90’s (meaning it needs less light), but otherwise these two cameras are pretty evenly matched.

While Sony Ericsson’s megapixel cameraphones have always been among the best available, I have to admit that I figured that the N90, with the backing of Carl Zeiss engineering, would end up being the superior camera - at least when it came to optical quality.

But that didn’t happen.
