Sony Ericsson W660i camera samples

A selection of sample digital photos to show the performance of the Sony Ericsson W660i's 2.0-megapixel camera

The Sony Ericsson W660i's camera offers a maximum 2.0-megapixel resolution (1600x1200 pixels), and a video recording capability at maxmum 176x144 pixels resolution.

The W660i has a 2.5x digital zoom, although this can only be used when shooting images with the lowest resoluton VGA (640x480 pixels) setting. There's no flash or LED illumination for low light conditions, although the W660i does have a night mode among its shooting modes.

The W660i has a limited selection of white balance controls for different lighting condition. It also has a brightness control. Before shooting, users can select shooting modes including a panormama option that stitches successive images together, and a multi-shot burst option (in lower res), or choose to add fun frames and effects to your snaps.

You can also easily switch between image size settings, so you can opt for lower resolution shots for simple picture messages, if you'd prefer. Images can be edited in the phone using Sony Ericsson's PhotoDJ basic editiing tool.

Sony Ericsson has included a blogging application in the W660i's software to allow users to upload images quickly and easily to their Blogger blog.

The Sony Ericsson W660i's 2-megapixel camera offers finely detailed shots of landscapes. Here, in variable lighting conditions the W660i manages to create an image with well balanced exposure. Blue parts of a predominantly grey sky are visible, showing decent sensitivity.
Up close, the limitations of the Sony Ericsson W660i's camera become apparent; there's no macro mode for close-up shots and the image is blurred
In difficult, murky conditions the camera produced a respectably detailed shot - with some vibrancy apparent in the post box in the central part of the image

Images in the top quality mode are well balanced and mid-range shots stay in focus
Some images can lack vibrancy, and appear a touch washed out
Images taken in good lighting conditions have considerably more vibrant colour definition

Again, in decent lighting conditions the camera can deliver a colourful performance - like these street performers. Deep blacks contrast well with fiery reds, and there's good detail in rendition of materials and guitar strings
The Sony Ericsson W660i is capable of rendering finely detailed images at mid-range; here, colours ping out against a dull background
Indoors, shots are less well defined, with some fuzziness and more noise evident in parts of the image. Colour rendition is less precise with evidence of apparent bleed on reds

The Sony Ericsson W660i may boast a 2.5x digital zoom on its spec sheet, but this is only available in low res VGA (640x480 pixels) shooting mode, and not with the highest quality 2 megapixel (or medium 1 megapixel) modes. Shots taken indoors in low-res with the zoom are blurry and of poor quality
