SE’s Ad Campaign using the C905’s Camera

Monday, November 3rd, 2008

In an effort to promote it’s Cybershot handset C905, Sony Ericsson is running an ad campaign claiming to be “an advertising media first”. The leading mobile phone manufacturing company, is promoting the mobile handset by teaming up with FHM magazine and running in-mag advertisements for the phone shot through the phone’s camera.

The company is making the camera the USP of the phone, highlighting that it is “so perfect, this whole page was shot on the mobile itself.” Apparently, C905 has the ability to reproduce high quality prints at any size.

Check out the advert on the Mobile Marketing Magazine.

“Who” do you think you are using that RAZR camera?

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008

So I went to see the Who last night in Hamilton, EXCELLENT show I must say. For being in their 60’s, Roger & Pete still know how to rock.

The one thing that amazed me (that always amazes me) is people taking pictures with their crappy camera phones. Do they not realize that’s not going to show up? I have an N95, with a 5 megapixel camera, and from 26 rows away, this is what my pictures looked like.

They aren’t even *that* great.

So what makes people think this tiny little, what does a RAZR have, 1.2 megapixels on a good day? camera is going to take pictures that you can even make something out on? “Look look, there he is, he’s that white square right there!”

Same thing with video & sound clips. The husband had his E62 out trying to record some sound clips, when he got home and listened they were so garbled you could barely make out two words. The only reason why I took pictures (and video, which I’m going to upload tonight) is because I know on an N95, it’s going to turn out at least legible/audible/etc.

Get a better camera phone, or bring a real camera.

(PS, it’s often said that cell phones are the new “lighters” at concerts, you know, slow song, wave your cell phone in the air. Not so at the Who, the lighters were out in full force :)

Sony Ericsson C905 coming this October

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

The folks over at Phones4u have a page listing about Sony Ericsson’s C905, the 8.1 MegaPixel camera that we first spoke about back in June.

“Early October” they say. There’s no word on pricing yet, but we’re trying to dig up our contacts to get additional information on the same.

What’s the camera like on the T-Mobile G1?

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

I snapped this shot with an HTC T-Mobile G1 while a chap from T-Mobile demo’d another G1 on-camera for the Mobile Industry Review show. The lighting in this room wasn’t great but it certainly wasn’t as bad as it could have been. The G1 camera has autofocus (unlike the iPhone) but apart from that it isn’t a fantastic camera when compared to other handsets coming out like the LG Renoir or the N96 (both also featured at this T-Mobile event).

Loads more G1 footage coming in Monday’s show :)

The key conference equipment – phone and HD camera

Thursday, September 11th, 2008

You need a good phone — a Nokia E90 in this case — and a shit-hot HD camera. And you’re good to go for covering CTIA.

In previous days I used to carry a big bag filled with laptops, chargers and the like. Now I have it nailed and I’m conferencing-light. It’s the only way to do it.

Did you say 8.1 megapixel camera? Nice one Sony

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

Sony have jumped ahead on the megapixel category with their latest handset, the C905 Cyber-shot. Of course, as Dan Lane (regular contributor to the SMS Text News podcast) points out, megapixels aren’t necessarily indicative of photo quality per se. However if the C905 is anything like Sony’s K800 or K850 series handsets, it’ll be simply magnificent.

3G Apple iPhone coming with 7.2Mbps, 5 meg camera?

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

Who does love a good iPhone rumour story? Well here’s another. Apparently, according to Computerworld, programmers have uncovered hints within the iPhone SDK that not only is a 3G device on the way, but it will include a Infineone’s S-Gold 3 chipset which hopes up the possibilities of a host of other goodies.

The chipset in question offers some tantalising possibilities of future iPhone upgrades, including the ability to support cameras up to 5 megapixels and supports HSDPA up to 72.Mbps.

I wouldn’t expect to see the 3G iPhone move to the top end of these capabilities straight away – after all, it would be a massive bump from the original device with its 2 megapixel camera and edge connectivity. Still, it looks like there’s still enough wiggle room to improve the device far enough to convince those who bought the first handset that it’s time for an upgrade already.
