You can take a look at some of the W995 samples here http://www.esato.com/phonepho[....]p?make=SonyEricsson&model=W995 and http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=188425
It WILL be bad when you start trying it out but once you get the hang of it, it could really fly as demonstrated by some of the samples shown in the links. Don't believe review sites because they never consider tinkering with the settings to get the best results, they usually base everything on full auto to be fair for shoot outs, plus it's probably from a pre-retail version. You will miss the C901 Xenon for sure for clubbing and parties, but there are some aspects about W995 which is better like saturation and video recording. Throw in the other extras like GPS, wifi, 3.5mm jack, superb Walkman sound, excellent video playback on a 2.6" screen supported by the kickstand and you'll forget your C901 in no time

@mode, have you altered the camdriver for the W995? I have heard good things about one made by 'dirty rodriguez,' but I'm not too eager to mess with the new phone's file system yet. My old one was in the shop for weeks- longer than I've actually owned it, and I don't want to screw anything up. Just curious if it's worth it to mod it or not.

@mriley, yep- the online seller basically said it wasn't their issue, but SE provides a 1 year warranty on phones, so take it up with them. I created the RMA on January 14th and I'm just now getting it resolved... at least they are offering me something to replace it with, although I really like the C901. I researched phones forever before deciding on that one and basically now I'm getting something else I'm not exactly crazy about. Not sure how I feel about that.
@thesun, thanks. Hopefully the W995 can take decent shots. Reviews of the camera so far are not thrilling me, but I'll give it a fair chance. I may end up selling it and trying to get a C905 though (which is available in North America, although the C901 is not for some odd reason), we'll see. |

Nope, I haven't modded my camera, don't feel the need to atm, perhaps I may give Brazzuka's camdriver a go for the VGA video recording and ISO options, but image quality-wise, I'm happy with where I am in fact, it's my dedicated digicam right now
