Some great news for photo enthusiasts at last! Sony Ericsson now looks to one-up all those measly 5-megapixel cam phones out there with the new Cybershot C905, previously known by the codename Shiho, which rocks an 8.1 megapixel camera with all the usual photogoodies like autofocus, face recognition, image stabilization, red-eye reduction, Smart Contrast, and Xenon flash as well as photoflash to boot. Now that means some really awesome pictures in A3 sizes and videos in VGA quality. Time to ditch your digital camera I guess.

The features don’t end just there as the C905 will feature A-GPS, a 2.4-inch QVGA scratch-resistant mineral glass display, a built-in accelerometer, and a bundled 2GB Micro M2 memory card. This cell phone has all kinds of connectivity options including Bluetooth, USB 2.0, and WiFi with DLNA support, which enables media sharing among other DLNA-supported devices. The C905 will be available in European and American varieties with full support for UMTS and HSDPA.

We even know that the device will start shipping in the fourth quarter of 2008. Now, let’s just sit back and have Sony Ericsson get on with the obligatory official announcement on the 17th, shall we?
