Information of Camera

As we head towards the end of the year, one company is set on shaping the world of camera-enabled mobile phones. That phone-maker is Sony Ericsson, and they are determined to corner the market for high-end camera phones, with the Sony Ericsson C905!

Camera phones in history - the world created by Sony Ericsson

It's quite apt, really, that Sony Ericsson are the ones at the forefront of the coming paradigm shift in camera-equipped mobile phones. After all, it was they who started it all, long ago, in 2002. Let's remember, they were the first company to release a mobile phone that'd got a camera in it, in the UK. That handset was the Sony Ericsson P800, but it didn't get the mass market penetration Sony Ericsson would've liked, since it was an incredibly (for the time) top-end smartphone. But, their most iconic mobile ever was about to be unveiled, and that one DID have great market penetration. That was the Sony Ericsson T610, and it entirely altered the mobile landscape. There was a phone that stood head and shoulders over the other mobile phones it was up against. It was compact, it was slim, and the country LOVED it. Plus, let's not forget that the Sony Ericsson T610 had also got an integrated camera, and that it was really the first handset to hit that wider market, and make them think, 'Hang on, we really do want our mobile phones to have cameras in 'em!'

With that in mind, let's focus on the latest and greatest of their incredible Cyber-Shot mobile phones: the gorgeous Sony Ericsson C905.

Sony Ericsson C905 - the ultimate camera phone?

There's no denying power, and one thing is very clear: the Sony Ericsson C905's got vastly more sheer power than any other mobile phones you can buy in the UK. How come? Simple, it's the first camera phone to be unleashed upon the UK that's got an 8 megapixel camera. Yes, you read that right. 8. That's a frighteningly big pixel resolution, and it means that the Sony Ericsson C905 gives you the power to take the absolute most amazing images you've ever seen, from any camera-equipped mobile phone, in the world. Oh, and on top of that, let's not forget that Sony Ericsson have souped it up with Cyber-Shot brilliance, and that will make the pictures it produces so much more sumptuous. Add in a brilliant multimedia browser, WiFi, HSDPA and integrated GPS, and you have to come to the conclusion that the Sony Ericsson C905 is, quite simply, one of the best going!

Analysis - should you drop your cash on the Sony Ericsson C905?

Well, that's the question, isn't it. There are now five separate 8 megapixel camera phones on the market, so should you go for the Sony Ericsson C905 or one of its competitors? Well, the Cyber-Shot name on the Sony Ericsson C905 should be a good indicator of what quality you can expect, compared to the other 8 megapixel mobile phones. And yes, some of the others do have things like touchscreens, or are based on Symbian. But out of all of them, the Sony Ericsson C905, in my opinion, combines the best all-round performance with that 8 megapixel camera. It has an exceptional build quality, and it feels solid and reliable, as well as looking truly gorgeous. And let's not forget, the C905 is the only 8 megapixel camera phone with a lens cover, and you wouldn't want to get a scratched lens, now, would you!
