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.

o iya neh, sebetulnya seberapa bagus seh neh HP untuk semuanya (kamera, performance, feature ama bug).
alnya aq lihat di K850 kan banyak yg kecewa, apakah hP ini Bug nya sudah diminimalkan?
trus fotonya C902 sebanding dengan HP gmana?
aq ragu deh jadinya,mo K850 tapi banyak yg komplain, mo C905 kayaknya kemahalan n blom kluar

kalo aq liat² sh ada perbedaan dg K850
K850 <---------------------------------------> C902
----------------------------------------------------
Xenon Flash <-----------------------------> Photo Flash (klo di situs UK speknya make Xenon)
tdk aktif <----------------------------------> Led aktif saat BesPict
tidak <----------------------------------------> Face Detection
Video QVGA <----------------------------> VGA 30Fps
Efek Tombol TouchSensitive <------> tidak ada
M2,Micro SD <----------------------------> M2
klo selebihnya saya liat sama

sebelumnya mhon maap, soalnya aq belum pernah punya K850 ato C902, tapi dah liat masing-masing Spek dr Website n liat di forum2(HPku cuman K660i )

O iya kayaknya dari dlo blom ada yg membahas dengan detil ya mengenai feature Akselerometer
klo di Sonyericsson itu Akselerometer bisa berfungsi apabila hanya dalam modul Media (walkman, Foto dan Game tertentu). apa g bisa untuk Desktop dan seluruh menu kayak di iPhone ato Hp lain.
jadi misalnya HP pas kita buka menu, trus HP kita miringkan maka ikut miring....
kebetulan aq suka nh ama feature Akselerometer

Bantu jawab y

k850 ada 2 flash : xenon n 3 led flash ( bs jd senter )
C902 cm ada photoflash

K850 bisa terima 2 jenis memori ( M2 n micro SD tp tak bisa bersamaan harus salah satu )

Kualitas video C902 hanya QVGA!

C902 ada 8 sensitive touch di sekeliling layarnya

Fitur Accelometer cm berfungsi di media doang....Ga kaya N82 di seluruh menu.....

@panda_blue
Bantu jawab juga, sama melengkapi yang dari fuma_wong.

Xenon vs. PhotoFlash
K850 : Xenon + LED --> LED bisa dipakai saat record video dan bisa jadi torch/senter. Xenon lebih powerful dari LED/PhotoFlash.
C902 : Hanya ada PhotoFlash --> Bisa dipakai saat record video tapi gak bisa jadi torch, mungkin karena design-nya yang mesti buka slide out cover untuk menampilkan flash nya.

Memory External
K850 memang bisa menerima microSD maupun M2 tapi gak bisa bersamaan, hanya salah satu pada saat yang sama. Keuntungannya mungkin di harga microSD yang lebih murah.

Video Recording
K850 dan C902 masing2 bisa record video sampai pada resolusi QVGA (320x240 pixel) @ 30 fps.
Hanya saja, fps pada C902 jauh lebih baik daripada K850 karena lebih stabil, bahkan pada kondisi low light sekalipun (asal tidak mengaktifkan night mode).
Pada K850, fps nya cenderung kurang stabil karena hanya bisa mencapai max. 30 fps pada beberapa menit awal2 saja, setelah itu cenderung turun ke sekitar 15 fps.

Fitur Kamera
K850 memiliki scene Twilight Landscape dan Twilight Portrait, sedangkan C902 hanya Twilight Landscape.
Face Detection hanya ada di C902 (di K850 gak ada).
Flash di C902 aktif saat di mode BestPic (di K850 Xenon gak aktif di BestPic).
Shortcut kamera di K850 adanya di Keypad, sedangkan di C902 ada di sekitar layar dengan metode sentuh, masing2 berjumlah 8 shortcut.
C902 ada fitur geotagging (di K850 gak ada).

Accelerometer
Baik di K850 maupun C902, accelerometer bisa berfungsi di :
- Media Player (Music, Photo, Video)
- Games (asal games nya mendukung)
- Theme (standby screen-nya saja, asal wallpapernya mendukung)

Contoh theme yang bisa menggunakan accelerometer :
- Dusk Setting dari C905 : Wallpapernya bisa bergerak sesuai gerakan handphone
- Shake It! : udah pernah dibahas di thread K850
- Beberapa theme lain seperti lamborgini, dll. yang pernah muncul di thread K850.

kalo suka accelerometer. bisa donlot file2 SWF yang keren --> di sini dan di sini

wah gw baru tau tuh k850 cmn bisa pake satu slot m.ext ga bisa bersamaan.
sayang bgt dong

wahhh...para master2 C902...bantu jawab pertanyaan gua donk...

1. gmana sih cara update C902???gua uda coba tapi ditulisnya uda latest version...padahal baru R3CA033....

thx yakkk..:D

emang bro beli C902 nya di mana..? harusnya dapet yang R3CA038 dari SEUS

tapi kalo sekarang udah stabil dan gada masalah benernya gak usah update juga gak apa2 sih..lagi pula sejak R3BH, kameranya C902 udah bagus kok

gua beli SE nya di spore..ehehe...:D
nitip ma temen...manteb nih..skarang kan gua lokasi di jakarta..kebetulan pengen gua bawa ke SE service center...tapi takut nih...ntar diganti2 ga ya???soalnya gua ada masalah ma keypad gua...agak ga enak gitu bagian tombol panahnya..ma tombol kiri atas...:(

Waduh gue pake c902
bagus sich tipis tp rada berat yah kayak bawa besi logam...
tp C902 gue lg diservis di se karena kalau lagi denger musik pake headset maupun speaker suka tb2 brenti trus lanjut lg.
and suka ngerestart sendiri napa yah.
ngetik sms jg kadang posisi kursor tiba2 hang trus jalan lagi.

Napa Yah? Ada Yang Tau?

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...

Bro nanti kalo ada release SW R3CA037 ato R3CA038 (James bong edition)... Hasil kamera di banding ama G900 jauh abis uey... G900 agak burem dan ga gitu focus... Peningkatan di R3CA033 adalah search contactnya agak responsive dikit ketimbang yang lama (SW pertama).

opini gue sih kalo di suruh pilih K850i ama C902 mending milih C902, karena auto sensor cahaya bekerja dengan baik. Kaya kita ambil foto dalam ruangan, kalo pake C902 walaupun blitznya nyala tetep hasilnya ga over exposure.. Kalo pake K850i sumpah warna jadi terlalu terang and over exposure uey....

Hasil recording video dari C902, sumpah memuaskan abis uey... selain playback yang bagus, kualitas suaranya bersih banget uey...

bro masih pake firmware awal ya..?

itu memang bug nya kok, wajar aja. gw make C702 waktu di firmware awal juga sering gitu, setelah update ke firmware terbaru dah sembuh semua

gak usah dibawa ke SESC sih benernya, cukup update sendiri via SEUS di rumah

Ngapain nunggu James Bond Edition yang baru keluar bulan November kalo cuma pengen dapet firmware R3CA037 atau R3CA038???

FYI, C902 gw itu udah dari 2 atau 3 minggu yang lalu udah pake firmware R3CA038....

Hasil kamera C902 memang jauh lebih baik dari G900, tapi perlu gw tegaskan juga bahwa hasil kamera G900 itu gak seperti yang dibilang di atas (agak burem dan ga gitu focus). Kameranya G900 itu juga bisa dibilang bagus. Cek aja ke thread hasil foto....

Kalo soal search Contacts kan pernah gw posting di review pertama kali bahwa di C902 ini udah gak selambat K850.

Masing2 ada plus minusnya bro. K850 punya kekuatan di Xenon yang tetep gak bisa ditandingi sama PhotoFlash nya C902. Xenon sangat berguna dalam kondisi yang bener2 gelap atau pitch black.

Kalo ini gw setuju...
Dan gw udah pernah posting beberapa hasil videonya.
Frame rate video C902 lumayan stabil di sekitar 29-30 fps meskipun durasinya panjang ataupun di tempat yang gelap (dengan catatan Night Mode tidak diaktifkan).

Nanya dong buat yang udah punya. Kamera C902 kalo ditutup beneran ga keliatan ya?

Oya bro, gw masih inget banget sama sebuah kalimat yang pernah gw denger di Daily Cafe Cibubur : "Buat gw, handphone itu harus HITAM."

Nah... cocok banget kan sama Swift Black C902?
