If prices of our stock would rise as fast as the resolution of camera-phones these days, we'd have struck gold. Handset manufacturers such as Nokia, Samsung and Sony Ericsson have been pushing the envelope by sticking even higher-resolution image sensors in camera-phones. But what does all this mean to the average man on the street?

Experience tells us that noise increases when the pixel size decreases given the same image sensor size. However, most people walk into shops asking for the best camera-phone available. And their gauge?

More megapixels, please.

In this two-part feature series, we'll take a look at two popular 5-megapixel camera-phones--the Nokia N95 and the Sony Ericsson K850i--to see which one will emerge victorious in the prizefight.

First up is a feature-to-feature comparison between the models. In our next installment, we'll round off the series with a prizefight where our editors tell you what they think about both handsets.

For now, let's warm up with a look at the fighting stats of both contenders.
