Woah! They are really catching up to Digicams.
Megapixels arent a very good indicator of quality, but 8mp from SE should be damn good.

 

[Pathik]

Seems good. Ny news of Optical Zoom yet?

 

[uppalpankaj]

Is a slider and looks really good....(C905)...Design also seems 2 b cool...

 

[yogi7272]

looks are very very good .. also inclusion of xenon plus photoflash .. wifi and gps too ..lets hope it has a very good 8mp cmos sensor ..and video recording should be vga@30 fps and 3.5mm jack on phone .. my next se phone for sure .. and yeah , optical zoom pls ..

 

[karthik55859]

it will be great if it sports 16 million colors display.....and 3.5 mm jack......then it sure rock the market segment in all aspects....

one simple question is that why dont the SE people are still sitting with 262k color screen.....they should pack lcd screens that are used in SONY cybershot digital cameras....it should be well enough to beat all the rivals....leaving others to dust......

From the PICTURE.. Clearly No OPTICAL ZOOM !!!!

OR is it ???

 

[hellgate]

donmt judge from pics.Samsung G800 has INTERNAL 3x optical zoom.

 

[bikdel]

With 8mp sensor, i wouldnt mind no optical zoom.

 

[girish.g]

nice. se back in the race again!

 

[vilas_patil]

The phone looks really cool.....

 

[m-jeri]

GREAT LOOKS to boot...

 

[praka123]

great news!

 

[dheeraj_kumar]

Any idea about the expected price? I can buy this after 3-5 years maybe

 

[desiibond]

Price could be set to $700 unlocked in USA

It will definitely be much more cheaper in India.

Sub-22k price should be perfect keeping in mind K850i

 

[Gigacore]

this one is hot! was planning for K850i, instead will wait and go for this one

 

[dreamcatcher]

It does not have optical zoom.
the Shiho aka the C905 comes with a censor with a focal length of 5.91 and supposedly carries an Exmor sensor as used in the mobile phones in Japan and Sony DSLRs..Has multiple face recognition and can lock upto 5 faces at once.
Has a new feature called smart contrast.Works more like photofix..but this one would keep turned on when the pic is being taken such that the color saturation increases.
