I just have to confess at the begining of this review, that I am a bit of a
Sony-Ericsson camera-phone fan. I got a K800i when there were really only two 3MP camera-phones on the South African market, the Samsung D900 being the other, and while
the Samsung had a MUCH nicer display, and MUCH more intuitive menu’s AND that seriously sexy slide-action, The K800i had the fight won, hands down, in terms of camera.

That said, fear not gentle reader, I WILL maintain my objectivity…

So, the C905 is a high-end camera-phone, from a company that makes some of the
best point and shoot cameras in the business.

And, the specs of the camera inthis phone do not disappoint.
8 MP (3264×2448) CMOS sensor, autofocus (with face detection of up to 3 faces),
image stabiliser (using the built-in accelerometer), xenon flash, geo-tagging
with the built-in GPS, mechanical lens cover, and dedicated camera keys.

To properly top off the camera experience, the C905 has a gorgeous, 2.4 inch
(240 x 320 pixels), TFT display with 256K bright, rich colors.
Formidablé!

OK. Enough numbers. Lets look at how it works, in-hand, so to speak.
The camera software is SE’s standard fare, with a scrolling options menu at the
bottom of the screen. It’s not as convenient and as intuitive as say, the
Samsung Pixon, but all the options are present and the interface is slick and
responsive.
The only caveat I have, is the joystick/trackpad/whatever. SE simply has never
got this important navigational tool right, in my opinion. The K800i was
abysmal, and while the C905 is a different design, it doesn’t solve the issue,
simply makes it a different one.
C’mon SE. This is a joystick.
Lot’s of other manufacturers have cracked it.
Just get it done, already.

On to taking the pictures.
I’ll just be quiet and let the pictures speak for themselves…

Actually no, I’ll just come right out and say it.
*BEST CAMERA RESULTS I’VE EVER FOUND ON A CAMERA-PHONE*
Honest. This IS a real camera, capable of some astonishing results, with a phone attached.
