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.

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

Face Detection kali.....

Smile Detection kan fitur baru dari Sony yang bahkan belum diaplikasikan ke semua seri digicam cybershot-nya (Baru type2 tertentu), masa di HP udah boleh dimasukin? CMIIW

Kalo Face detection emang udah fitur standar digicam2 terbaru.

Tapi kalo emang Smile detection ternyata bener dimasukin ke seri cybershotnya SE, berarti murah hati banget tuh Sony... fitur terbaru digicamnya langsung dikasih ke HP2 SE

@fuma_wong
Asalnya memang udah dilego, tapi dibalikin lagi sama yang beli karena waktu itu gak ditest, jadi komplain deh, terpaksa gw ambil lagi.

@Sabre_Zoo
Yang punya fitur Smile Shutter itu SO905iCS bro.

Tu kan Luna........ada kan..........
tapi meleset semua, bukan c902 ato c905, malah codomo

@Sabre_Zoo
Hee..hee..hee... kalo HP Jepun sih udah diluar pembahasan... itu sih Hp2nya kemampuannya emang udah sama dengan digicam betulan. Zoom optik di HP kamera udah fitur standar disana

hehehe....jd pengen jadi orang jepun......

bro TRO, sering2 posting foto2 full size dunks. soalnya jrg yg posting sih di esato. dan gue ga pcy sm foto2nya plankgaban. tkg ngedit dia.. keliatan dr size foto2nya.

@Erixxon

iya bro, gw juga gak percaya bgt sma poto2 si planky..

tapi gw yakin C902 bisa bikin foto bagus kok, kayak hasil kameranya si Putzon

kayaknya bro dah gondok bgt ya sma si plank

ember. soalnya dia ga bs nerima pendapat org dan selalu maksain pendapat sendiri tanpa ngasih bukti lg.

gue td liat2 hasil foto plank di galeri esato. tyt bukan full 5MP res gt.. cm 1MP res-nya. duh.. ya ga terlalu byk kan yg bisa diliat ya dr 1MP res kaya gt.

OOT dikit karena lagi ada bicara dikit Hp jepun, g dah liat Hp2 Jepun Sharp di Grand Indonesia di Sharp Galery, asli...udah pegang2, nyoba2....hehehe liat Hp manapun jadi kayanya koq jelek, gile bener yah Jepun......, pantes hrg-nya juga selangit

Tanya ke CS-nya (yg benings jg ), akhir tahun rencana, tp baru cuma 1 type aja, yaitu yg model flip tp layar bisa jadi horisontal dgn ukuran layar 3" , asli mantep banget, bahannya itu lho, ada jg model komunikator dgn warna GOLD kinclong...duh...., trus slider, dan yg terakhir 'side-kick' , asli ini bener2 beda, jadi bukan layarnya muter gitu....
Semua ukuran layar min 3"

Nah, di seberang-nya, toko cutting-edge, ada jual Hp jepang dgn type N905 NttDoCoMo, dgn hrg Rp 10,5 jt , tp 3G di lock.....

dah ah, jadi kepikiran Hp2 Jepung yg entah kapan bisa beli...hehehe

Mantap tuh bro TRO yg dah punya SO905iCS

gimana ga 3", kan biar ga mubazir layar aquosnya

Maap numpang OT lagi,

@jus_ppc
Sharp di GI dimananya bro? Kemaren muter2 GI nggak ngeliat, tapi emank lupa juga sih Sharp dah buka di sono, jadinya kagak nanya2.

Di lantai atas, duh lupa, pokok-nya satu lantai dgn Toko PDA, C-Palm dan CuttingEdge, g juga gak tau di mana-nya awal-nya, cuma denger aja kalo Sharp mau buka galery dan mau mencoba pasar Indonesia utk Hp-nya

Langsung filling g kayanya ada di lantai gadgets, eh bener langsung ketemu hehehe

tgl 16 kemaren g ke sono lagi mau bayar tagihan Xplor, sekalian jalan2, muter2 pas lewatin lagi tuh Sharp, pengen masuk lagi....hehehe sama bini soalnya dan soalnya lagi yg CS jaga-nya bening dan cuma sendirian lho.....dan gitu ramah,(susah ya, ramah repot, jutek bikin sebel) , kalo sendirian or single sih asyik.... lho...ah udah ngaco nih....hahahaha

Cuma satu, hrg udah pasti di atas rata2 nih, min 5 jt-an keatas :P

di lantai 3 kalo ga salah. gw nemunya dari blitz, ke arah WC yg sebelah kiri,. trus ikuti jalan sampe keluar, masuk lift, turun ke 3, langsung keluar di samping cutting edge waktu itu gw uda sadar ada sharp gallery, tapi ga keburu liat2 gara2 bareng teman2

Biar gak OOT.

Perbandingan FLASH antara C902 dengan G900.

Pitch Black room. C902 with Flash.

Pitch Black room. G900 with Flash.

Terlihat kalo C902 sedikit lebih terang daripada G900.
Tapi karena ini jarak dekat mungkin gak terlalu kerasa.
Kapan2 gw coba bikin perbandingan untuk jarak yang lebih jauh deh.

Tentang firmware.
Kayanya C902 ini jadi anak emas SE nih. Baru beberapa hari lalu ada firmware baru R3BH002, udah ada kabar bahwa saat ini udah tersedia firmware yang lebih baru (saat ini masih terbatas untuk O2 customer) yaitu R3CA033, dengan peningkatan pada versi software kamera, dari versi 1.8 menjadi versi 1.9.
Mudah2an kameranya makin bagus...

tapi emang C902 cepet bgt nih update firmwarenya..gak nyampe dua minggu sejak keluar dah dapet firmware baru..
C702 kapan yah..huhu..

bro ngalami masalah reccuring alarm sama kamera ngehang gak di C902..? baca2 di esato kok kayaknya banyak yang ngalami ya di C902.

sama gw baca2 di esato katanya di R3BH sinyal 3G nya lebih gampang ilang dibanding di R3BA, bener gak tuh bro..?

bro, kalo sempet minta contoh VR nya donk di tpt low light..
di esato si plank dah ngasih sih lewat rapid share, tp gw ga bisa ngebuka...thx

Alarm gw bikin recurring tiap workdays nih sejak pertama beli dan nggak ada masalah.

Oya, sekedar informasi, durasi snooze di C902 ini bisa disetting sesuai pilihan kita lho, gak cuma 9 menit kaya di versi sebelumnya.
Pilihannya ada 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, dan 30 menit.

Trus di bagian sound nya ada 3 pilihan juga :
1. Alarm signal --> ini seperti biasa
2. Alarm volume --> bisa diset Loud, Normal, Modset, atau Discreet.
3. Silent mode --> Alarm sound atau No alarm sound.

Gak sempet bandingin sama firmware sebelumnya bro. Tapi kebetulan ni C902 gw pasang kartu XL yang di rumah gw tu sinyal 3G nya lebih kuat daripada Telkomsel... lumayan stabil sih kalo menurut gw sinyalnya.

soalnya di C702 R3BA035 untuk alarmnya emang dah lengkap ada kyak gitu juga setingannya

oiya bro, di C902 untuk setingan emailnya ada email wizardnya gak..?
maksudnya untuk seting imel kita gak perlu masukin manual satu2, tapi tinggal masukin alamat imel dan password ntar hp otomatis konek ke inet buat nyari dan donlod setingannya

Catatan : koneksi internet harus aktif agar settingan bisa di-download.
