there is nothing wrong with EOS pics, focus point is selected to close but everything else is just depth-of-field effect. if you take a look at pics of girl or trees, where focus point is far and depth of field don't have to be shallow, you won't find this effect
So to conclude in the hands of a newbie the Canon takes less pretty shots than the C905
half true  only because of C905 which can't create shallow depth of field and most pics seems to be "sharpner"

If someone is happy loan me a C905i for a bit, I'll compare it with my DSLR fitted with a prime lens @ fixed aperture of f2.8 
I only have K850i with which to compare - the fact that it inspired me (through it's failings) to buy a DSLR is almost proof enough lol

but f/2.8 is totally different in C905 and lens for DSLR you have to find equivalent above f/5.0

Semi off topic, would it be possible to save images on the phone unprocessed? Like RAW images on the better digicams? That could make a big difference for those who like to process the images themselves (me included).

The only camphone which were planned to offer this, but in the end didn't on the final production version, was the Motorola ZN5. Their RAW format was actually black-and-white TIFF but still unprocessed. Check M-R's or SM@PE's reviews for samples.

There are freeware applications for Nokia I believe that enable one to utilise cameraphone raw files (Adobe DNG?) in one form or another

As it turns out yes it's a Symbian S60 app, and only capable of 640x480 resolution apparently

Something is wrong here. My Canon power shot S5 IS take better picture than that which can't compare to any mobile phone nowadays. It is far far ahead from any mobile phone's pictures. |

This comparison makes little sense. It only proves shots with a reasonable quality can be made with a phone cam. I already knew that (since I had my K800). Also, a DSLR is not a snapshot-cam, like a phone-cam. It has a lot more options and possible settings. So it takes more attention and experience to get the best settings for the shot. On my EOS 400d auto works ok but for optimal results I always use manual settings. With a phone-cam, you just can't control depth of field, as Raiderski said (he knows what he's talking about).
My conclusion would be: with a phone-cam (in this case C905) under good circumstances it is sometimes easier to make a nice pic than with a DSLR.
Another thing; imo 8mp in a phonecam is quite useless because the pics just don't have the quality for large prints. 3mp should be more than enough, theoretically even better in combination with a tiny sensor.

No chance a DSLR cant be compared with any camera phone. The SonyEricsson cannot compete with a DSLR. Sorry.

The point is, it's good enough if you can't afford a real camera (like me) |

Of course it's a very good all in one alternative to carrying both a phone and a point and shoot camera, but the fact is that it is still compromised compared to a real camera in terms of lens quality, sensor size and software design. I'm constantly amazed by the quality of shots posted by some of the regulars here taken by the C905
Some of my most praised photographs were taken with my K800i, in fact I bought that to replace a Sony point and shoot my ex dropped on the ground at a wedding; it was only just before christmas that I took the leap into the world of the dSLR - now my K850i is my spur-of-the-moment snapshot camera - but if I want quality and/or creative techniques are required I use the Canon for sure

Unfair test TBH - thats a old DSLR now, so you should compare it to camera phones from a few years back. As the C905 is SE's top of the range phone it should be compared to something like the Canon 5D.
