Sony Ericsson Intros C905 and S302
Techtree News Staff, Jun 18, 2008 1000 hrs IST
While the C905 is claimed to be a viable alternative to a digi-cam, the S302 is said to be useful for taking pictures that can be shared via Bluetooth.
Sony Ericsson has also launched two new camera phones -- the C905 Cyber-shot, a slider-type phone, and the S302 Snapshot. Both the phones are intended to replace a digital camera. While the C905 is claimed to be a viable alternative to a digi-cam, the S302 is said to be useful for taking pictures that can be shared via Bluetooth.
The C905 has an 8.1 mega pixels camera and Xenon flash. It has a 2.4-inches scratch-resistant mineral glass display. The phone comes with face detection auto-focus, smart contrast, and image stabilizer.
For storing pictures and other data, memory options include a bundled 2GB Memory Stick Micro (M2). A USB adaptor (CCR-70) to transfer photos to-and-from a PC is also included in the package.
With this phone, users will also be able to send photos wirelessly to their TV via Wi-Fi (using DLNA), or by connecting with wires using the also just introduced TV-Out Cable ITC-60.
Additionally, users will be able to upload photos to their own Blog site, or print photos up to A3 size. Also, GPS-enabled for geo-tagging of photos and navigation support has been provided with the C905.
The C905 is a powerful 8.1 mega pixels camera phone that looks, feels, and acts like a real camera, says Sony Ericsson. The phone will come in three variants to support different networks. It will be available in three colors -- Night Black, Ice Silver, and Copper Gold in select markets from Q4 2008.
In comparison, the S302 Snapshot is for those who want it all at an affordable price -- good looks, must-have features, and a pocket-sized slim design, says the company.
The S302 is a high-gloss finish phone that sports a 2.0 mega pixels camera with an easy-to-learn camera menu. Sony Ericsson claims that users will be able to treat the S302 just like a digital camera.
The phone comes with photo function features like Photo light and Photo fix; video recording and playback; and up to 20MB internal memory and Memory Stick Micro (M2) support. Photos can be transferred via USB, Bluetooth, or Memory Stick Micro.
According to Sony Ericsson, the C905 Cyber-shot phone and S302 Snapshot phone are all-round performers that maximise the company's camera credentials. While the S302 introduces a premium looking, yet affordable phone with a snapshot camera at-hand when needed, the C905 is a powerful 8.1 mega pixels camera phone that looks, feels, and acts like a real camera.
The S302 Snapshot will be available in Crystal Blue and Thunder Grey in select markets from Q4 2008. The S302 (and S302c for China markets) will support GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900. There's no information regarding pricing of these phones.

The price of the C905 is 19500. It may vary nearly 500-800 depending upon the locality, as its not availble in stocks, as per the demand. I will suggest to hold on for few days as the supply increases from SE and as SE has promised it will be nearly 18K.
