Thanks for the post, the night shot looks very good, is it possible to take a photo with i900 & i8000 of indoors under florescent light as with my i900 te image is very grainy & a yellowish colour. many thanks

Use iso=50 and timer for both phones, and let the phone stay quiet over a table or something like that....

On the i900 in almost all cases it is best to turn off the flash. If there is sufficient light the photo will come out ok.

In the i900 forum there is a thread with lots of user posted photos + info about settings used etc.

Thanks, but I am looking for comparisons between the i900 & i8000, I am going to buy the i8000 this weekend hopefully & just wanted to know if the low light pics are better than the i900.

Will try and get a few down this evening.

Just got myself the i8000 with win mobile 6.5 & i have to say the touchscreen is far superior to the i900 & so is the camera & led flash, here are some of my night / low light pics.

I own both i900 and i8000, I would say the camera's picture quality on both is about the same. In terms of functions, i8000 is better because it has a zoom in the camera's preview function, so you can see immediately whether the photo is out of focus. In i900, you can't see that in the preview as there is no zoom, so you have to close the camera and open a photo view program, and then if it is out of focus you open the camera program and take the photo again, i8000 is much more convenient as you don't need to close and open the camera program to do that.

In terms of night shots, you need to know what you're doing. Both the i900 and i8000 can take decent night shots but you need skills in the settings, they both can't do well in default settings. A few points to note for night shots :-

1) Adjust the brightness yourself and try to find a spot where you can hold the phone steady.

2) I try not to use the anti-shake function as it creates too much noise, the result without anti-shake will be much better if you can hold the camera tight. That of course depends on the subject, if you are taking photos of people/moving objects indoor, then use the anti-shake mode, as anti-shake mode does have a faster shutter speed and can avoid blurred photos due to moving objects.

3) I also would use the delay function, as pressing the 'shutter' button will always create vibrations, delay it for 2 secs and hold it tight, then the night shots can be very clear.

4) Also beware of the autofocus, try to find a bright spot where the camera can focus. The i900/i8000 are just phones, their autofocus is nowhere as accurate as real cameras. A lot of blur photos are result of out of focus.
