The Sony Ericsson C905 CyberShot phone has at last been made official. Sony Ericsson's latest super camera phone is a technological tour de force, designed to take on and beat the best that Nokia's N-Series can throw at it. Not for Sony Ericsson a measly 5 megapixels - the C905 comes with 8.1 megapixels. Connectivity? While the average Nokia N-Series can manage Wi-Fi, HSDPA, USB and Bluetooth 2.0, the C905 features all that and throws DLNA into the mix too, enabling your phone's pictures to be beamed directly to your (DLNA-compatible) TV wirelessly at the touch of a button.
You also get a-GPS, built-in Google Maps, and a tonne of fancy-ass camera-specific features, too, making any N-Series phone look like an iPhone (well, at least in the features stakes anyway!)
Full specification and many more pictures of the Sony Ericsson C905 camera phone after the jump.
Sony Ericsson C905 CyberShot camera phone overview
The C905 is a hugely impressive piece of kit. Most top-end camera phone these days come with 5 megapixels, but Sony Ericsson decided to top the lot with a stunning 8.1 megapixels' worth. OK, so megapixels on their own mean nothing, but in marketing, size matters, and any camera phone with more megapixels than the competition is already off to a head start.
Along with megapixels, though, the Sony Ericsson C905 also offers the following features to enable you to take much better pics:
- 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
- Picture & Video blogging
- Geo-tagging
- Photo feeds
- PictBridge printing
That's quite an array of features. According to reports from engineers who've had a chance to play with the C905, the pictures it takes are stunning (well, at least for a camera phone anyway). Sony Ericsson don't just release phones with features that are there purely for marekting purposes - their features are the real deal, and with 8.1 megapixels and this array of features, you can be sure that the C905 will leap straight to the top as the best camera phone on the market (though we will, of course, test this out in the future!)
It's not just the picture-taking abilities of the C905 that are great, though. Sony Ericsson have really thought about what should go into a great camera phone, so you get one-touch picture (and video) blogging to any of a variety of web sites, from Fickr to your own blog. You can even geo-tag your blog using the C905's built-in a-GPS unit.
Speaking of which, the combination of a-GPS and Google Maps makes the C905 an excellent Sat-Nav phone as well. In fact, with the combination of superb camera taking abilities, GPS, and unrivalled connectivity, the Sony Ericsson C905 is this year's Nokia N95: a truly superb high-end phone that blows the competition away.
Over to you, Nokia!
