Sony Ericsson C905 (2)- the camera


this is a related article of Sony Ericsson C905 before, about an 8 megapixel camera takes photos at a resolution of 3264 x 2448 pixels, which leads to photos that can be blown up to ridiculous sizes without loss of resolution or detail. However, in doing so, any shortcomings from the camera are also made immediately apparent. So confident are Sony Ericsson with the quality of their C905's pics, though, that during its launch they displayed its photos on A3 display boards - that's 297mm x 420mm - and there wasn't a trace of any picture degradation.

The C905's face detection feature will also ensure that people's faces always remain in focus when you're taking a pic, regardless of whether there's one, two or three people in the shot. Apparently, it'll even recognize ugly people, although really ugly people may cause it to throw a bit of a wobbly!

There's the usual array of image improvement software, including digital stabilization, smart contrast (which helps ensure you don't over-expose your subject) and red-eye reduction. There are also several different modes that you can shoot with, including panorama for extra wide shots. There are even a couple of applications that make use of the camera in innovative ways. CamPlus, for example, is a Java application that lets you take time-lapse photographs of a sense at time intervals that you define, and also lets you take photos whenever any motion is detected within the camera's field of vision.

Sony Ericsson C905 (1)



The Sony Ericsson C905 is set to become the new standard for camera phones when it's released in October (just in time for Christmas!). Forget the 5 megapixel camera phones of last year - the C905 comes with a huge 8 megapixel camera, some serious camera wizardry to get the best out of all those pixels, and a huge range of other features, such as HSDPA, WiFi and aGPS, as well.

First of all, an overview of the C905. It is, as you can see, a slider phone, with a keypad that's apparently extremely easy to use, and a simple sliding design that actually looks rather good.

It's not the smallest of phones, but then it wouldn't be, given the amount of features that Sony Ericsson's managed to cram into the thing!

Ah yes, the features - let me remind you of just some of them:

  • GPS and aGPS
  • Bluetooth™ technology
  • Modem
  • USB support
  • Wi-Fi™
  • DLNA™ support, letting you share your pics and vids wirelessly across hundreds of other devices
  • Video streaming, recording and playback
  • Bluetooth 2.0
  • MP3 player
  • FM radio
  • GeoTagging and mobile blogging features
  • TV-Out

Did I mention the 8 megapixel camera?! Yes? Well what about the following camera-specific magic:

  • 8.1 megapixel camera
  • Xenon flash
  • Auto focus Face detection
  • Smart contrast
  • Image stabilizer
  • Red-eye reduction
  • BestPic™
  • Digital zoom – up to 16x
  • Photo fix
  • Photo flash
  • Photo light
  • Video light
  • Video recording
  • Video stabilizer

What all this means is that the Sony Ericsson C905 isn't just a camera phone - it's actually more camera than phone, and is set raise the bar for camera phone when it launches in October.
