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.

Sepi banget thread ini... udah mau tenggelam ke dasar laut.
Padahal besok pagi mau dibahas di e-Life Style Metro TV.
Kebetulan banget, yang posting terakhir sebelum gw naekin lagi thread ini adalah Lando, orang yang mau tampil di TV besok....

Photo-photonya dulu ya...

Belakang :

Belakang dengan slide lens cover digeser :

Belakang, berdampingan dengan G900 :

Depan, mejeng bareng sama G900 lagi :

Kamera aktif :

Lihat lambang di sebelah kanan atas kan? Pas di sebelah kirinya tombol "Back"? Nah... itu artinya geotagging aktif.

Kok ga ad yg bli c902 sih? Kan di esato, ud ad yg posting hasil ft c902 dgn firmware br yg agak mendingan dibanding awal2

Sony Ericsson C902

Isi Paket :
- C902 Swift Black
- Batere BST-38
- USB Cable DCU-65
- Standard Charger CST-75 (dual-port)
- Handsfree HPM-64 (seperti yang ada di W200)
- Buku Manual
- CD PC Suite
- Kartu Garansi

Gak ada memory card M2.

Design dan Material
Pertama kali megang C902 : waduh... kok berat ya?
Bener deh, untuk handphone setipis ini, C902 terasa berat banget. Ukuran C902 itu dimensinya hampir sama persis dengan G900 kecuali tebalnya (C902 jauh lebih tipis).
C902 berat karena ternyata hampir keseluruhan bodynya terbuat dari metal.
Bahkan tutup baterenya aja berat juga.
Oya, di penutup batere ini di bagian dalam ada tulisan Stainless Steel lho...
Secara keseluruhan design-nya keren banget deh.

Bagian Depan :
Ada layar dengan ukuran 2 inci. Kok layarnya kecil ya padahal kan lebarnya sama dengan G900 (layarnya 2.4 inci)?
Ternyata layarnya kecil karena di C902 ini sisi kiri kanan (atas bawah kalau posisi landscape), dimanfaatin buat naroh 8 buah shortcut menu2 kamera yang berupa touch-keys.
Beda dengan touch keys yang ada di K850 yang berupa buletan kecil dan sensitif, di C902 ini wilayah sentuhannya adalah pada icon2 menu yang berpendar warna biru (hanya muncul kalau kamera aktif) dan mesti disentuh dengan agak keras seperti layaknya layar sentuh di G900.
Di atas layar ada front camera, light sensor dan speaker.
Di bawah layar ada 2 soft key, tombol call, tombol end-call (berfungsi ganda sebagai tombol On/Off juga), activity button, tombol "c" dan d-pad serta tombol eksekusi di tengah d-pad. Selain itu ada numeric keypad biasa.
Keseluruhan tombol-tombol tersebut cukup nyaman ditekan.

Bagian Belakang :
Ada speaker, penutup batere, dan... kamera kalau slide lens covernya digeser.
Pada saat membuka lens cover, lampu yang ada di antara penutup kamera akan berpendar warna biru.
Oya, di sekitar kamera ada Photo Light dan juga tiny mirror buat foto diri.

Bagian Kiri :
Hanya ada fastport.

Bagian Kanan :
Ada tombol shutter kamera dan volume.
Letak tombol volume beda dengan biasanya karena ada di bawah. Ini disebabkan bagian atasnya harus digeser-geser jadi gak mungkin tombol volume diletakkan di atas.

Bagian Atas :
Asli gak ada apa-apa.

Bagian Bawah :
Hanya ada lubang microphone.

tanya satu aja bro. layarnya sm g900 seberapa lbh bagus?

Udah ketebak deh pertanyaannya.

Kalo menurut gw sih bagusan C902.
Mungkin karena lebih kecil ya?
Soalnya gw ngecek dengan ngeliat beberapa gambar yang sama kayanya di C902 lebih terang dan lebih tajam gitu warnanya.

Oya, sebelum di update, gw mau posting firmware dari C902 yang gw dapet.

R3BA035 APAC-ANZ
LCD : 200804080
Camera : 1.8
Video call camera : 1.3
Java : JP-8.3.0

Pertanyaan gue ketebak bngt ya.
Itu beli baru ya bro? Jrg ngider euy jd klo ketinggalan brita harap maklum.

Keren deh. Tp gue kaget jg baca tyt kesan pertamanya adalah "berat"! Haha. Soalnya hape sekecil dan setipis itu gue bayanginnya emg ringan. Tp pas bor blg ada stainless steel segala di bagian dlm covernya, yg kebayang build in quality nya mantep ya.

di C702 juga bisa gitu bro, kalo kita aktipin geotagging tapi dg GPS dimatikan
jadi pas motret fotonya dikasih geotagged dengan bantuan operator kali ya...

cuma waktu diliat di google maps melesetnya sering jauh banget dari posisi objek aslinya.
selain itu kalo foto yg geotagged tadi diliat di google map dg posisi kita lg di dalem ruangan, susah banget, sering gak bisanya (unable to locate image).

kalo GPS dienable melesetnya gak jauh banget, paling sekitar 4-5 m tergantung sinyal GPS nya, dan liat foto di google map juga selalu bisa walau posisi kita indoor.

kalo di C902 gimana bro..? untuk ngeliat foto2 yg digeotagged dari dalem ruangan apa gampang ato susah..?

geotagging GPS disable

geotagging GPS enable

trus di C902 ini ada menu Location services juga bro..? dapet aplikasi google maps sama wayfinder juga apa gak bro..?

sama kalo bisa tolong dibandingin donk bro Xenon K850 VS Photo Flashnya C902... thx

td di tv disebutin kisaran harga di 4,1 jt an....lumayan mahal jg
keren jg,gw bersabar tunggu harga cooling down

ada menu location service. tapi saya coba sih, buka google maps ngak bisa cari posisi kita karena ga ada GPS built in. harus pake HGE100 berarti. hehehe

Sorry baru bangun nih...
Sekarang tentang kamera, geotagging, GPS dan Location Service nya.

Sama kaya G900 nih, gak dikasih M2 juga.

Di C902 gak ada pilihan GPS enable atau disable karena memang gak ada GPS built-in nya, tapi di menu kamera cuma ada pilihan "Add Location" yang bisa di-ON atau OFF-kan.
Kalo di-ON maka akan muncul logo hijau di atas, kalau di-OFF logonya hilang.

Di C902 ada dikasih menu Location Services sebagai bagian dari Entertainment, juga ada Google Maps, tapi gak ada WayFinder.

Sampai dengan Location Services dan Google Maps sih masih bisa dibuka, tapi pas mau masuk ke sub-menu "Status Info" diminta masukin GPS aksesoris.

Tentang hasil foto yang di-geotagged nanti di paling bawah ya.

Lokasi : Cup n Cino, The Plaza Semanggi.

Sekarang pake Flash nya di dalam ruangan.
