I'm lazy today so just copy a paste of one of my old posts:
From mobile01.com's W902 vs C901 vs C905 shootout I took one full size crop of both C905 and C901 and then scaled up the C901 shot by 26 percent (the difference 5MP to 8MP diagonally) and joined them together side by side:
Can anyone guess which is which? 
To the C905's defence I say the colors are better...
So it comes down to what you find most important: color or richness in detail.

C901 left to C905 right?
I find richness of detail far more important, colors are an easy change.

IF C901 had same great colour rendition as C905....it would probably be one of the best 5m.p cam-phones out there.........
i cant really get a grip of C901, some pictures have good/accurate colours and some pictures looks absolutely weird, (looks like they are shot with Solarize or something)
(im refer to this kind of "issue"........as we see on quite many pages inside the c901-thread)
until this "issue" is fixed, C905 is superior in all aspects............

Hmm, you have just chosen an over-exposed/under-saturated picture from a thread with hundreds of photos in, anyone can do that with any picture thread including those from digital SLRs...
@AbuBasim
Which is which??

C905 on the left. C901 produces more detail than the C905 because of milder noise reduction. But the C905 produces better colors. At least in this single shot comparison...
Another example - C901 first, then C905:
More examples in the site (mobile01) I linked in my previous post. Scroll down to the 100% C901-C905 comparison shots towards the end.

I know everyone will be waiting for it...please wait because the C905 was out of order now...it was on service due its earphone problem. Don't know when it will be finish...

I have to defend C905  Poor details have always been a problem in C905 but I think it's not that bad as we can see on pictures from comparision where C901 eats C905 alive. I see many better quality pictures from C905 here on Esato and I like them, maybe because of modded driver I don't know. Auto colors from both are indeed different - warm C905 against cold C901 but which one is better? The better one are these well balanced with small help of WB settings in the camera menu 
Plank
A little bit of good will is enough to see a lot of very nice pictures instead of relentless searching for weaknesses and inventing very doubtful "issues". Weak quality is not a rule but a deviation from what the camera can really do and in this case, the C901 is no different from the rest.
What about this one from C905?
source
I have no ill will and I won't say that this is often "issue" in C905 pictures thread because one picture which looks a bit weird cannot throw a shadow on the rest.

I own both phones, and both take excellent photos, I probably prefer the c901 as it is smaller and handier but c905 is great as well. |

those C905 comparison pics are all blurry.. that is not an accurate representation of C905 pics at all.
what does it really matter anyway? both cameras are so close, that you can't really go wrong with either one.
C905 probably has a stronger xenon flash, but C901 may take slightly better low light pictures (in certain situations), but these conditions can be overcome with the great custom drivers our amazing modders have put out here.
the 8mp vs 5mp really doesn't mean much to me, as I take mostly 5mp shots anyway with my C905 anyway.
If you just want a great camera , and a smaller phone I would say go with a C901, but if you want a great camera, and also wifi, and GPS.. C905 is the better choice.
there is really no point to splitting hairs here trying to determine which one is better. there will never be a clear winner.

It's very important which camera is better, it will answer this thread and stop people making assumptions of quality when they don't own either phones.

Is the C905 with a modded camdriver better than a 2MP camera?
And the C905 cam is better than the cam from the W995, right?

how bout you post your pics jake? C905 probably has a stronger xenon flash, but C901 may take slightly better low light pictures (in certain situations), but these conditions can be overcome with the great custom drivers our amazing modders have put out here.

i agree If you just want a great camera , and a smaller phone I would say go with a C901, but if you want a great camera, and also wifi, and GPS.. C905 is the better choice.
honestly if there is no cam mod for c901 ill go for c905
but..thanks to raiderski there is really no point to splitting hairs here trying to determine which one is better. there will never be a clear winner.
maybe with a set of judges that is not a c901 and c905 user [ This Message was edited by: jake20 on 2010-05-12 02:51 ]
