Sony Ericsson strengthens Cyber-shot™ phone range with two models that take photos further
10 February 2008

Sony Ericsson’s new C702 Cyber-shot™ and C902 Cyber-shot™ deliver best-in class picture quality beyond just megapixels.

Barcelona, Spain – 10th February 2008 – Sony Ericsson today announced two high-performance additions to its popular Cyber-shotTM phone range with the launch of the C702 Cyber-shot™ and C902 Cyber-shot™. The two phones, packed with the latest camera technology, make it effortless to take perfect pictures of those spontaneous moments – day or night, at a bar or the beach – and instantly share them with friends and family.

“The two new Cyber-shot™ phones that we have announced today share certain characteristics. Both phones place ease-of-use and best-in-class picture quality at the heart of their designs,” said Sven Totté, Head of Imaging Marketing at Sony Ericsson. “Yet both appeal to different audiences. One is engineered to let you take more pictures in more places and the other is designed to look as stunning as the pictures it takes.”

Sony Ericsson C702 Cyber-shotTM – Take pictures everywhere

* Splash and dust resistant* – perfect for your active lifestyle
* Single-handed camera use – for spur-of-the-moment photos
* Built-in GPS with location-based imaging – sort and view your photos according to where you took them

Never too extreme
You can use the C702 Cyber-shot™ in a range of different conditions, as its unique design means its both splash and dust resistant*. This means that whether you’re off-road or just off to the mall, your C702 Cyber-shot™ phone can always be at your side wherever you go, whatever you do. After all, the best camera is the one you have with you.

Never miss a shot
The C702 Cyber-shot™ is engineered to let you take pictures in any position. The camera key and the active lens cover are specifically designed and placed so that you can stabilise the 3.2 megapixel camera and capture the moment with one hand - perfect for an active lifestyle. Combine this with steady-grip materials and a wrist-strap provided in-box, and the C702 Cyber-shot™ really is geared to go more places.

Never lost
The C702 Cyber-shot™ integrates GPS and a range of location-based imaging services that really add a new dimension to taking and managing your photos. When you take a picture, information about where you are in the world is automatically added to the image. So you can always share your best moments with your friends and family according to where the shots were taken. Or you can simply sort the picture through your photo gallery on the PC or on the web.

If you are lost on your travels, Google™ Maps for Mobile locates and guides you to where you want to go, enabling you to roam free with confidence. Use GPS to pinpoint your location and then get turn-by-turn voice guidance to your destination. Find your way home or to one of up to 20 million points of interest.

Sony Ericsson C902 Cyber-shot TM – The image and style statement

* Slim Cyber-shot™ phone with unique slide-out lens cover. Camera-ready in an instant
* Stand out design – instantly recognisable
* 5.0 megapixel camera with Face Detection and Auto Focus. Always capture the best shot possible
* Illuminated camera touch keys. Intuitive guidance around the camera settings

The slim line C902 Cyber-shot™ will have everyone wanting to have their picture taken. Ultra-compact, stylish and with a unique lens cover that slides open to reveal the 5.0 megapixel Auto Focus camera, the C902Cyber-shot™ sports a camera performance beyond its sleek and slim looks. The phone’s lighting dramatically signals when you are in camera mode by switching from white to blue. The eight camera touch keys come to life and let you choose between camera modes, Photo Flash, Face Detection and Auto Focus, and more with just one touch without moving your finger from the shutter button.

Just shoot
With the C902 Cyber-shot™ you just need to slide open the active lens cover and shoot. The Face Detection and Auto Focus capability enables the camera to detect and focus on the face of your subject rather than the background, so that you can take sharp and high quality pictures of your friends.

Night shoot
With the C902 Cyber-shot™ you can be confident of getting the perfect shot. The phone incorporates the latest in lighting technology – Photo Flash – giving you better quality pictures even in low-light conditions. Also, a light solution has been added to the established BestPic™ feature – which lets you take nine photos in quick succession, choose the best and delete the rest. So now you can use BestPic™ wherever you are, perhaps even to capture the dance-floor action in a club!

Create your own multi-media slideshow
Use x-Pict story™ to add music and transitions to your gallery of photos and automatically create your own multi-media slideshow to share with your friends. Lights, music, action!

Store and share
The C902 Cyber-shot™ comes with a 160MB built-in memory – the equivalent of storage for up to 100 full resolution photos – plus the possibility to add even more memory with the Memory Stick Micro™ (M2) that can be bundled with the phone depending on the market.

Easy transfer wherever you are
You can transfer the images on your phone to your computer by using the CCR-70 M2 USB Adapter, also announced today. Save your photos to the phone’s memory card, remove it and pop it into the CCR-70. You then slot the card reader into your laptop and all your photos can be dragged across! Delete from your Memory Stick and you’re ready to go and fill it up again with more memories.

lebih gampang ngeblur K850 ya bro..? gw kira malah gampangan C902

nanya lagi deh ttg kamera,
kalo motret pake C902, waktu nyari fokus modelnya kayak K850 ato K770 bro..? maksudnya kalo di K850 kan layarnya jadi burem2 dulu sambil ada suara "krek2" gitu ya, tapi kalo di K770 kan hampir gak pake burem2+suara krek2 itu..kalo C902 gimana bro..?

Agak-agak lupa, hehehe...
Tapi kayanya mirip di K770 deh, gak pake burem2 dulu, n lebih cepet dapet fokusnya.

jigonx said:
ni gw juga yakin, soalnya shortcut kameranya lengkap banget kayak K770

terus terang gw dari K770 make C702 juga rasanya rada kurang nyaman, soalnya dah kebiasaan make shortcut macem2 di K770 sih biar lebih cepet

Betul sekali. Shortcutnya kan ada 8 kaya di K770, cuma beda tempat aja.

jigonx said:
masak sih 10 cm bro..? soalnya C702 bisa sampe 5 cm, K850 bisa sampe 5 cm juga khan

Iya bro... kalo lebih dekat lagi fokusnya gak bisa ijo, cuma ada buletan warna ijo kelap-kelip di kiri atas. Itu artinya gak mau fokus kan?
Makanya gw juga heran. Soalnya G900 aja bisa lho sampe sekitar 5cm macronya.
Mungkin karena gw nyobanya malem ya? Ntar deh gw coba lagi siang-siang di luar ruangan gitu.

aneh juga ya..ato dicoba gini aja bro, dapet fokus dulu dari jarak 10 cm, tahan setengah, terus pelan2 kamera dimajuin dikit2... sampe jarak brapa objek masih bisa terlihat jelas tanpa out focus

wuah C902 manthab! ga nyesel!!!

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, pengeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnn

Lagi upload beberapa (banyak) photo dari C902 ke imageshack.
Bentar lagi mau diposting di thread Hasil Photo.
Silakan dilihat di thread tersebut.

Ngetest 3 buah game yang bermasalah di C702, pengen tahu gimana di C902.
Sumber game dari "gudang"-nya bro cod3gr33n.

1. Speed Racer 3D
Berhasil!!!
Sound ON dan Sound Off gak ada masalah, speed nya relatif sama.

2. V-Rally 3D
Gak bisa di-install : Operation failed.

3. Need for Speed Carbon
Ada 2 versi nih :

3.b. Need for Speed Carbon 3D
Gak bisa di-install : Operation failed.

3.a. Need for Speed Carbon v1.17
Berhasil di-install, gak ada masalah dengan sound On atau Off, tapi.......
ada masalah dengan resolusinya. Kayanya game ini untuk ukuran 176x220 ya?
Soalnya tampilannya gak penuh n kecil gitu...

speednya relatif sama itu maksudnya sama2 cepet ato sama2 lambat bro..?

kalo dibandingin sama A100 gimana bro..?

di C702 lebih lambat, gw pikir karena C702 masih pake firmware awal, tapi kalo di C902 yg udah make firmware baru masih tetep lebih lambat juga berarti emang A200 performa javanya bakalan kalah sama A100 terus nih

oiya di gudang cod3gr33n ada video perbandingan kec gamenya juga kali aja bro mo liat

ketiga game lainnya gagal diinstal ya.. sama di C702 juga kalo gitu, operation failed terus

gara2 download-an dari orang lain kali.......xixixi

uda ada yg coba di A200 yg laen? jangan2 ini masalahnya C-series nih

klo diliat2, ga smua A200 sama lho. misalnya ada beberapa game 3D yang gue maenin di k850 dulu itu lancar, di k660 agak lbh patah2. trus di z770 (old FW) tyt super duper lancar.

1. Menurut gw iya, hasil photonya lebih bagus dari K850. Sayangnya gw gak bisa bikin perbandingan langsung karena K850 gw sedang dirawat inap untuk kedua kalinya di SESC. Untuk lebih jelasnya cek aja ke thread Kumpulan Hasil Photo, gw udah upload beberapa photo dari C902 di sana.
2. Baterenya emang cepet abis, kalau dipake dengan pemakaian semisal nelpon, SMS, photo2, internet, yang agak sering, memang dalam sehari bisa abis, gak 100% abis sih... sekitar 80%-an lah.
3. Suara speakernya emang gak sekencang G900 atau K850, tapi suaranya lebih halus dan jernih lho...
4. Sayangnya Photo Flash C902 gak bisa dijadiin senter.

Thanks bro TRO

k850-nya kenapa bro Tro?
G baca2 di forum K850, banyak masalahnya ya.
Untung g nga jadi beli waktu itu, soalnya masih
mahal sih. hehe...

@Benny_Lau
K850 gw ada problem di autofocusnya. Kotak AF nya gak pernah bisa hijau, selalu putih dan ada lingkaran warna hijau berkelip-kelip di sudut kiri atas yang menandakan out of focus.
Kalau mau moto ya kotaknya masih putih gitu udah langsung shoot aja.
Hardware problem nampaknya. Ini masalah hardware yang kedua, yang pertama dulu 1 bulang nginep di SESC karena problem di keypad dan d-pad yang fungsinya gak normal.

Iya kali. Kejadiannya gini.
Setelah balik dari SESC (untuk masalah keypad 5 sama d-pad ke bawah), K850 fine-fine aja.
Trus update firmware lewat SEUS ke R1FA035. Kena BROD.
Downgrade ke R1EA037 lewat kulankendi, update lagi ke R1FA035 lewat DaVinci.
Tiba-tiba ada masalah dengan autofocusnya : selalu out of focus! Kotak AF nya gak pernah bisa jadi hijau!
Coba downgrade lagi lewat Kulankendi : tidak menyelesaikan masalah.
Update lagi lewat SEUS : sami mawon.

Akhirnya dikirim ke SESC untuk dirawat inap.

kalo k850 bro punya mata, mungkin abis di up & down, jadi :

....
tapi, kayaknya menurut g, itu cm masalah di firmware, bukan di hardware x ya?
& mestinya, rawat inap-nya di SESC nya pun ga sampe 1 minggu..

@TRO

Lho bukanny dah dilego K850 ny? ternyata kaga toh......

@TRO
bro...tanya dong, yang punya fitur smile detection tu yang mana? C902 ato C905, kalo ga salah sih pernah ada yang review bisa smile detection gitu.
Thanx B4
