Sony Ericsson C905 – is it any good?
With an 8 megapixel camera and impressive photo features, the Sony Ericsson C905 has made mobile phone news as the first handset with such a powerful camera. Aside from its capable camera function, the C905 has all the useful data and communication elements that users would expect from Sony Ericsson mobile phones.
Pros
The C905 is about more than just a load of megapixels; there are several neat photo features. There’s an LED light and powerful Xenon flash to help users take great shots in low lighting. The phone also has face detection, instant red eye reduction, and image stabilisation systems that are usually found only on digital cameras. There’s also the proprietary BestPic system and a macro mode. HSDPA and Wi-Fi connectivity makes uploading to the internet quick and easy.
Cons
Due to the high resolution of pictures taken with the C905, file size is on the high end as well. This cuts down on the phone’s battery life, and it’s significantly shorter than most other new mobile phones. Users who employ the camera feature frequently will find they need to recharge the phone often. Still, when one considers the excellent quality photos the phone takes, the trade-off is tolerable.
Conclusion
Users who compare mobile phones for camera capabilities are sure to be delighted with the C905. With one of the most powerful cameras and some of the best picture quality available in a mobile handset, the C905 is miles beyond the competition despite its rather disappointing battery life.
