No Xenon.Bummer. But this beast is gonna kill Nokia(and SE obviously) for sure. The only advantage that the C905 has is its price.

[dhanusaud]

Yeah pal,

It wil kick many fones as it is s60 9.3 FP2.

Even nokia's upcomming sets aren't in 8mp cam.

Just waiting for the same killer.

[confused!!]

I wonder when it will be available in India

[krates]

lol this beast comes with a regular LED flash

[yogi7272]

no xenon ...boooo...

why not both kind of flash like c905 .. that's very cool abt c905...

[dreamcatcher]

Yea, but this one will come at a price. N96 killed.

mind blowing

maybe my next phone , expected prices ?

[dreamcatcher]

^^Arre let them be announced dude...Not sure after paris and bilbei got scrapped. But this seems promising. SE certainly had some inkling of what Samsung is pulling out.

C905 prices were reduced after Samsung's announcement. Now it will launch at 22k.

[saurabhpatel]

8MP is the new 5MP

[hellgate]

now lets see how the 8MP cam performs.

[yogi7272]

n96 killed for sure even before its out.. now if that dual led flash is somewhere close to xenon flash performance then ... i may get it ..

[krates]

true even N96 battery is also gonna suck infront of this

[dreamcatcher]

LED nowhere close to Xenon. LED is 1/30th the strength of xenon. While photoflash used in the new SE phones is 1/10th the strength of Xenon. C905 has both.

But this will surely sell at about 28-29k and will hit Indian shelves much later. I still vouch for the C905 as VFM. I am yet to see a fully stable samsung.

[krates]

nah there are different level of each led

like the dual led used in K550i are not that bright as that of N73 regular led

btw i think K550i got photoflash is it ?

[dreamcatcher]

K550 has regular LED. Only the latest C serie phones from SE have photoflash.

Pics taken by the c905. Just have a look at the full size pics.

C905 has a CCD sensor confirmed.

[yogi7272]

WOW ! CCD SENSOR ... finally .. i am getting it for sure .. now make it vga@30 fps .. a complete camera phone .. xenon + photoflash .. excellent ..

[yogi7272]

samsung preview is out on gsmarena

http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i851...review-269.php

looks promising .. camera is awesome .. only if it had xenon flash too ..

now its high time se c905 performs better than this one .. i really hope se does better this time..

[dreamcatcher]

Ummm...lotsof C905 full size pics posted.Quality is more or less the same. C905 will obviously take the cake in low light shots.

[Third Eye]

Image quality of this beast is really good.

[goobimama]

Gee people, get a real camera. No matter what the pixels, that lens is still going to be something to talk about.

[krazzy]

Most high end phones nowadays offer professional grade lenses. And the image quality offered is even better than the low-end digital cameras and equal to the mid-end ones. Now it's just the high-end professional SLR's which still have the edge in picture quality. But that's expected considering the price at which they sell.

[yogi7272]

the thing with mobile photography is that u carry ur phone everywhere .. not ur digicam however pocketable it may be ..

http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/revie...on_Preview.php

this review says, sony c905 using the same sensor as in innov8 .. whereas few sites states that its using its own sensor .. quite confusing for c905 .. its not ccd sensor for sure ..

wait & watch ..not wise to jump on 8mp bandwagon .. let nokia , lg and moto comeup with their 8mp lineup ..

[dreamcatcher]

C905 uses an CMOS Exmor Sensor as used in Sony DSLRs. This is 110% confirmed.

yup .. that seems to be the final version .. lets hope se comes good this time ..i really like xenon + photo flash ( led flash ) implementation .. what if video recording is qvga .. we can use that led flash as torchlight as in k750i .. the feature i miss in my n82 due to its xenon flash ..
