Hands-on with the Sony Ericsson C902 5-megapixel camera phone
By Philip Berne, 10 February 2008
The new high-end CyberShot C902 has GPS location and facial-recognition auto focus. Time to throw out the point-and-shoot? Check out our hands-on gallery.
At only 10.5mm thin, the Sony Ericsson C902 feels more like the super-slim W880i Walkman phone than the 5-megapixel shooter it is. But we were impressed when we tried out the phone's auto focus, which finds faces like a modern point-and-shoot camera, and the touch sensitive settings buttons. We dragged our finger to adjust the white balance and add features to our shot, a nice touch that makes the camera easier to use. We're just as excited to try the location tagging with the phone's built-in GPS. If the phone makes it stateside, this device could finally take us out of the market for a smaller camera. Release: June 2008. Price: $500.
Pros: 5-megapixel sensor with face recognition and location-based tagging. Very thin. Cool touch sensitive camera menu.
Cons: Is it too early to start wishing for optical zoom on a camera phone?
