I promised that we’d post a duel between Sony Ericsson’s C902 and C905 as well as a Nikon digital SLR camera, which ended up being the ageing 10-megapixel Nikon D80. In the photos there is a significant difference in terms of the size of the elements from the C905 and D80’s photos and the photos produced by the C902. This is caused due to the lower camera resolution on the C902. There’s hardly any visible difference between the C905 and D80 as the C905 shoots in 3:4 format and the D80 shoots in 2:3 format.

The following pictures are 100 percent crops that are straight out of the cameras. All cameras were set to auto, and left to decide everything themselves. We’ll provide full size samples in the upcoming full comparison, but the crops should do for now.

We understand that it really isn’t fair to include the C902 in this comparison, as a complementary source of light is needed, but we’ve decided to go for it anyway. Some of the pictures were shot up to several times because the quality just wasn’t satisfying.

No doubt the quality is improving, but there’s still a long way to go if the mobile phone manufacturers have any plans of reaching the really high quality levels. Can you match the cameras and pictures?
