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.

Gak tuh... yang kemarin kan bukan masalah di handphone-nya, tapi karena ada sedikit damage di fisiknya gw jual.
Jadi ya beli lagi...

Sania ijo kan udah beli juga...

Sofia? Hmmm... mikir dulu deh. Ada X1 sama C905 soalnya...

BTW, tadi kan mati lampu di rumah gw. Trus foto2 pake 3 hape berikut : T650, G900, dan C902.
Kok flashnya C902 kalah sama T650 dan G900 ya?
T650 paling terang di antara ketiga hape di atas.
G900 lumayan.
C902 paling parah dan kadang2 gak sinkron, kalo pas dapet malah hasil photonya agak kekuningan.
Setelah konsultasi sama bro jigonx, katanya ada kemungkinan masalah firmware.
C902 gw saat ini firmwarenya udah R3CA037 dan itu adalah firmware terakhir menurut laporan di esato.
Tapi karena penasaran sama flashnya... akhirnya setelah backup data pake MPE, gw coba update ulang pake SEUS.
Tadinya sih kalopun dapet "Continue Anyway" mau "pasrah" aja di-update lagi... tapi.... surprise!!!

SEUS-nya bilang Update Available.

Lho? Ada firmware barukah setelah R3CA037?

Let's see... karena C902 gw sekarang masih dalam proses updating oleh SEUS... tepatnya SEUS masih download file update nya nih... berarti memang ada firmware baru nih... karena download ke komputer dulu.

wah mantap nih bro, moga aja terselesaikan masalah Flash nya itu

Firmware baru : R3CA038.

Ngantukkk... tidur dulu ya, besok mesti berangkat pagi2 soalnya.

Besok ya hasil test firmware barunya.

Good night.

wah bener2 anak emas nih C902....cepet amir firmware barunya

oke deh bro, ditunggu ripiuwnya

@luna

gak tau juga yah..soalnya memang index nya deket banget sama sebelumnya (R3CA037).

masih nunggu bro TRO nih, biar lebih jelas ada perubahan apa aja di firmware R3CA038 ini

setuju ma bro jigonx...

anak emas emang kyknya ni hape..
Minimal dari jumlah iklan di tipi..hehehe
termasuk sering loh..!!

btw, kmrn2 megang dummy-nya C902 ma G900, bener yg dibilang bro TRO, C902 lebih premium bahan casingnya...

btw, kualitas kameranya gmn yh bro...?klo dibandingin ma K850i...maap nih klo dah pernah dijawab...

Gak kok, C902 ini termasuk minim bugs, gak kaya K850...

Oya, R3CA038 itu kayanya cuma minor upgrade dari R3CA037.
Hampir gak ada perubahan berarti, paling yang kerasa cuman kalo pake flash gak lagi kekuningan kaya sebelumnya.
Selain itu kayanya sama aja.

Namanya juga produk baru bro. Dan memang C902 sekarang jadi unggulan SE nih, selain G900 tentunya.

Bener banget bro... paling gak bahan casingnya setara lah sama Arte yang dibandrol 10 jutaan sama Nokia.

Menurut gw secara overall C902 ini lebih bagus dari K850.
Memang sih K850 masih menang di Xenon dan untuk urusan detail photo masih megang.
Tapi yang bagus dari C902 adalah ni hape boleh dibilang bisa menjadi "point and shoot" camera, karena udah bisa menghasilkan photo yang lumayan bagus tanpa harus memikirkan berbagai macam settingan yang pas. Memang bakal lebih bagus lagi kalau kita mengambil photo menggunakan settingan yang sesuai dengan kondisi object.
Sedangkan K850 harus bener2 pinter milih settingan yang sesuai agar hasilnya bener2 bagus, kalo gak ya bisa-bisa hasil photo kita gak sesuai harapan.
Tentang Xenon, memang kerasa banget bedanya untuk mengambil object dalam kondisi gelap gulita dan jarak jauh, K850 unggul jauh dari Photo Flash nya C902.

jd inget, gue bbrp hari lalu pernah ngoprek2 live unit c902 di SESC BeMall. tyt di sana ada live unit ky di Taman Anggrek.

gue suka bngt sm menunya. layarnya jg bagus walau kerasa rada kecil krn dah kebiasa pake z770. kameranya gue suka deh. foto2nya gampang bngt. dan di layar keliatan bgs bngt. klo di pc mungkin ga keliatan sbagus itu sih. tp intinya gue sih suka bngt.

cm gue ga nyangka itu keypadnya ternyata bentuknya agak2 gt ya.. mksdnya ada bagian yg menukik2 gt. ky di g900 ya. gue kurang suka euy. berasa agak kuno. >_<

gue ga pernah perhatiin gmbrnya bener2 sih sebelumnya jd ga nyadar bentuk keypadnya gt.

Bener bro... layarnya memang kekecilan sih, gw juga suka agak2 gimana gitu kalo ngelihat di sekeliling layar (bukan di mode kamera) banyak banget space kosong.
Tapi terlepas dari ukurannya itu, layarnya emang bagus banget. Photo2 dan gambar2 tertampil dengan sangat bagus.

Hahaha... bener banget bro... keypadnya itu memang dibuat berbentuk gak rata, tapi agak menukik-nukik. G900 juga gitu.
Bedanya : C902 keypadnya licin banget dan agak keras. Kalo G900 lebih lembut dan gak licin.

2 malam lalu, di rumah gw mati lampu.
Trus iseng foto2 pake C902, G900, sama T650, pake flash.
Kebetulan ketiganya pake LED (kalo di C902 istilahnya Photo Flash).
Dari ketiga hape tersebut, hanya T650 yang LED nya itu nyala terus pas di-set ON, sedangkan C902 dan G900 LED nya punya sifat mirip Xenon, yaitu hanya menyala pada saat akan mengambil object.
G900 LED nya bisa diset ON, OFF atau Auto.
Sedangkan C902 hanya bisa diset OFF atau Auto saja.

G900 :

T650 :

C902 :

Dan setelah itu karena laper gw bikin indomie :

Flash nya bagusan T650 kan?

iya bagus bngt. warna2nya mulus gt, trus kinclong.
tp pas mode non kamera emg kerasa pinggirannya kosong amat. haha.

kmrn sayang jg sih c702 cm ada dummy. pdhl pnasaran jg.

wah c902 terbilang agak keras ya bro? gue kemaren cb, gue sih msh nyaman sih. mungkin krn z770 keypadnya rataaaaaaa bngt (sebel gue krn rata bngt haha) jdnya gue dah kebiasa neken keras2.

sebenernya pas kemaren liat2 itu, secara model, gue jd lbh naksir g900. keren soalnya.

kok udah kucari file nya g ad yah....
kan forum C702 udah ad beberapa part tuh, nah par berapa tus halaman berapa?
aq pengen make neh...untuk ngetes performance HP K660 gw

@TRO

C902 make ISO 200, T650 memang otomatis make ISO 800 jadi keliatan jauh lebih terang. tapi kalo masalah warna, gatau juga ya kenapa C902 jadi kekuningan gitu..

@panda

ambil di attachment

ingat, untuk ngetes --> set sebagai wallpaper dahulu untuk liat FPS nya.
jangan langsung di liat lewat file manager.
