With the Sony Ericsson C905 arriving for review in The Phones Show, I couldn't resist doing a quick head to head between it and the Samsung INNOV8 - and the Nokia N82, for good measure.], so that I could evaluate the differences between 8mp and 5mp in the real world. The C905 is undoubtedly the phone with the stills camera of highest specification at the moment - but how good is it? Is it worth overlooking the many other factors involved in choosing a camera-phone/smartphone?
"Here are the two main protagonists - hey, the N82 was taking the photo(!) - of comparable size in each dimension, although the INNOV8 is slightly wider, to accomodate the 2.8" screen (the C905's is 2.4", the same as on the N82). The C905's screen is gorgeous, I thought it was OLED technology at first, but it turns out to just be a very bright TFT. It's certainly nowhere near as reflective as the awful display on the INNOV8 (i8510), which is hard to see when you're outside taking photos. "
