hello everybody

I recently went on a ghost hunt at oxford castle and loved it and now have planned another one. The thing i would like to know is would i be able to pick up ghost appiritions / orbs on a sony ericsson k8ooi phone with flash ? been told it is possible with a digital camera but am wondering if i could with my phone ?

any help is really appreciated..

thank you x

I used to sell mobile phones and from what I can remember the SE K800i only has a 3.2mp cam.

I figure any cam phone will be equal to a digi cam, but only if you bear in mind the megapixels. With a 3.2 you won't get high quality shots. Sony Ericsson Satio is a super duper phone. 12megapixel camera!!! Now that would give you the shots you want.

But yeah, back to the question. There's no reason I know of why a phone would be any different to a camera but again, it all depends on the megapixels.

Right, just to expand and clairify, the megapixels on your camera determines size, which then in turn determines the quality of the picture. For example, if you take a small picture on a high resolution camera (lots of megapixels) the quality will be clear and distinct. If you take a large picture on a low resolution camera (few megapixels) the quality will be grainy or pixelated.

I've bagged some intriguing pics - orbs etc - on a K800i, provided it's on max resolution and the performance is optimised for the conditions. Generally, the more sophisticated the camera, the worse it can be for bagging paranormal stuff - once you get all kinds of on board software compensating for image quality, blur, unexpected movements etc, you lose a LOT.
