I feel myself really supported by your important and relevant information - issued by who knows about the subject... I'm standby should you find any zoom example. By the way, how to understand the fact that important companies like Sony and Ericsson decide to supply equipment telling it has zoom capabilities and this is not actually true? This is not trustworthy propaganda; in fact this is made to cheat buyers. Is this an acceptable commercial procedure in Canada? Kind regards Alexander Hello Tyler,

I'll see if I still have them on my hard drive and upload them if I do though so you can see. But I mean digital zoom is a cropping of the image and the k850i did a bad job.

Thanks for the prompt answer. Allow me to ask about the zoom capabilities of the k850i, I saw some of the pictures you posted on Flikr, the outside pictures were made on bright sunny days, but I could not find out which were eventually taken with zoom. Can you tell me you experience about that? The pixelation on the pictures I take starts with no zoom and ends with a completely blurred shape at the max. zoom position. This can be seen on the examples I posted. Well, you are right, a cell phone is still a cell phone, but would Sony enter in a game like this with it's own name? Cyber Shot is an important trade mark... Sorry to put it on a lower quality product! Thanks again Alexander Down from Brazil... Thanks Tyler,

I have looked over the photos you linked in the above. The Large and Smaller photos look good but when you look at the original photo (2048x1536 = 3.1MP) it is quite pixalated but then the photos were shot on cloudy/foggy days. If you have any sunny days try taking the photos again and see if the quality improves. I know that cellphone cameras were not meant to replace regular digital cameras but with Sony's background and their Cybershot I would assume it would be better. Thanks for dropping by Alexander!

I still have four days to exchange my cell phone, and I really think that my came with any sort of defect. I took some test pictures in Auto and 3 Megapixels and uploaded the results of the Zoom blurring to Flickr. Since you made this nice and accurate review, and since i did not manage to get this quality of pictures yet, could you take a look on the pictures I too and tell me you oppinion? The addess is: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gromow/sets/72157607305601139/ I live in São Paulo Brazil and the pictures were taken from my apartment's window. I thank you in advance for any advice you may give to me and congratulate you for your excellent work Alexander Hello Tyler,

At that price you would expect the phone to have this feature. Especially when they want to replace the camera with this phone. That really sucks that this phone does not have an optical zoom.
