According to the Unofficial Sony Ericsson blog, the upcoming C905 phone will be the flagship Sony Ericsson Cyber-shot phone. Here’s why it’s so good. There’s a 8.1-megapixel camera with “auto focus, face recognition, a new feature called Smart Contrast, image stabilisation, BestPic, red-eye reduction, xenon flash as well as photoflash for both photos and videos.” There’s also location tagging with GPS, an accelerometer, 2.4-inch QVGA display, TV-out, Wi-Fi, DLNA support, Bluetooth and USB 2.0 transfers. Yeah, sounds pretty insane. We’ll see if this one turns out to be true and whether they can fit all of this tech into that small body. [Se-nse]

Sorry Step66 i cant agree with your statement regarding sensor:
“@Airport_Whiskey: you mean the SO905iCS?
This won’t beat that – it has a 3x optical zoom and the same type of sensor Sony put in the D-SLRs.”
It has a “similar” type sensor that does the “same” Analogue to Digital Converting, but there is no way that they would have a full frame or even a semi full frame sensor in a phone. No physical room to focus through lens onto sensor. Just Physics
If this were possible, then DSLRs would be tiny and or Point and shoots would be equipped with a large DSLR sensors. If it were true i would buy one in a flash. The thing I hate about these camera phones is small sensors and any 8mp promises of greatness will only that the images are far too noisy and grainy as the pixel density is far too high.
Look up the “megapixel myth” and check out http://6mpixel.org/en/ – you will soon see that too many pixels in a small space will only degrade the image. Big Sensor means
What we need are larger sensors, less pixels to allow greater sensitivity for low light/fast shutter shooting. then things will start to look up.
Overall its nice to see phone tech getting better camera wise but still the images are grainy, subject to blur and nowhere near usable for even a semi-professional point of view. Fine for drunk party snaps or photos of your kid riding a tricycle wearing a hat. or a photo of a dog wearing a a hat. One day they will be usable and replace point and shoots for casual photography. I cant wait.

mmmm, I just can’t wait to take excessively grainy photos on my camera phone.
I’ve got an N95, and even with 5 Megapixels, it’s grainy at full size.

I have been using C905 for a month now. Camera is really good for basic photography. GPS is pathetic in Australia. Phone is not able to find satellite even after 5 minutes of searching in open space.
