The K750i uses Sony’s Memory Stick Duo and the number of images contained on a Stick depends on the size and JPG compression selected. There are three picture sizes available. The camera also captures video in two image sizes.

The macro mode is very good and the K750i can take photos in black and white and sepia. And, working on the assumption that the camera will be used to take “Look at me, I am in front of the x” type photos, there is a tiny concave mirror alongside the lens for framing self-portraits.

Image files can be sent by phone or email from the camera, provided that the particular services are set up for transmission.

Like this: The image quality from this tiny phone is remarkable. Auto exposure is good and detail is excellent. The controls on the phone serve a number of purposes, exemplified by the use of the navigation joystick to control exposure compensation, reviewing pictures and scrolling in enlarged mode.

Dislike that: There is nothing to dislike simply because it is astonishing that it works at all. An optical zoom would be nice and no doubt such a thing is just around the corner.

Parting shot: This is not a camera to replace a dedicated picture taking instrument but as an image recorder that will always be on hand for celebrations and disasters it is a little ripper. The K750i also incorporates a voice recorder, MPG3 player, email client, web browser and FM radio!
