well well, I'm impressed by this tiny camera eye  it survived in good shape comparision with modded K800 in low-light but of course had no chance when K800 was in longer exposure modes  nevermind, it has big potential even when unmodded. I made a comparision in daylight too, not much to be excited about because weather sucks here - white/dirty snow, gray sky and buildings
So, let show us "the true potential" of c901 mate 
Lets make the C901 King of Cyber-shots!
The c901 with exposures from 1/6400 to 2 seconds would be incredible,
i could also brag even more about the camera
@raider
Im excited you finally have it Now only time will tell

Show us yours soon or later. I miss K800i raider's enhanced mode (even finally i've got it in my C901 mod camdriver) and I would love to see "party mode/slow synch flash".
Dont ever told us that u didnt have any passion to do this great job ever.

First to say hello to all.
I'm a photographer-beginner, I have DSLR, but miss very much the "old school" cellphone photography and will buy some. I was looking for good quallity camera and find that C901 is great, the sensor is better than the new 8/12MP cameraphones.
I want to ask something - is there a camdriver that can lock the exposure or can manually select the shutter speed? Or if there is not, is someone trying to do this and can it be done? Do this phone can be modded like K800/K810 with 2sec exposure, manual focus and etc.?
I will be very thankfull for some answer |

There is a manual cam driver but it has no shutter speed settings yet,
what SLR have you got?

no AE lock for focus infinity is old bug (since K800?)
in K800 I overrided it in 2 ways, both fast and easy to use but I don't know how it be in C901. should be possible but not that easy to use like in K800

nope, I didn't noticed problems with autofocus... yet? will see
Gam3Ra and I saying about focus infinity only. when is selected then you can't lock auto exposure (AE) in darker/brighter point and then point camera to brighter/darker point without loss of locked exposure. this feature is very important in panorama shots - the same exposure ("brightness") on all pictures is necessary

ehehe this time without so huge blow as it was for K800

@Raiderski
Which software version, and "prg" number has the C901 you tryed?
Mine has problems with focusing, and as I remeber with previous firmware it was precise. I thought many time that something is broken (so it could be hardware related), but as i tryed many times in some situations in sports mode focusing is nearly perfect, sometimes the document mode helps, sometimes the only way to get a better shot is by setting infinite focus. Yesterday I've tryed in a situation to take a photo, and with sports mode almost all the time focusing was precise, but with auto, and even document mode was almost impossible to get a well-focused picture (I'll post those pictures). So it should demonstrate that it's software related, and something isn't well optimised. As I see when the phone is focusing, it goes throgh the right point, when the picture would be sharp, but it doesn't stops there, it focuses to a closer distance. Plus, those who experienced the same problem say that with modded driver manual focus works well (so the hardware should be ok).
I really hope that an update will fix it, because it has a really good camera. Sadly after my K750 neither the K850 nor the C901 can satisfy me. The K850's blurry pictures, and pinkish red coluors, and then the C901's focusing problem annoys me (which I remember so, I haven't had with previous software).
