Sony Ericsson Launches Eyes Wide Open
Press Release:
To celebrate the launch of the new Sony Ericsson Satio handset on Vodafone, photographer to the stars Jillian Edelstein has been commissioned to embark on a unique mission to capture the undeniable beauty and individuality of 121 eyes in only 12.1 hours.
Jillian Edelstein is one of the world’s most influential and celebrated portrait photographers, having captured the likes of Woody Allen, Nelson Mandela, Helena Bonham Carter and Blur to name but a few. Eyes Wide Open takes her gaze from the world of famous faces, and looks to delve into the realm of visual communication through the exploration of eyes.
The partnership of world renowned photographer, Jillian and the premier Sony Ericsson Satio handset with 12.1Mp camera, Xenon flash and 12x digital zoom will undoubtedly produce iconic images that capture the story behind each participant. The crystal clear 16.9 nHD widescreen and 3.5in screen will also enable participants to view Jillian’s amazing work instantly.
Sony Ericsson are searching for people from all over the country and all walks of life to take part in this once in a lifetime opportunity to be part of Eyes Wide Open. Members of the public can find out more and win the chance to be involved by visiting the Eyes Wide Open website. Simply upload your details, an image of your eyes and tell us why you’d like to be involved.
Jillian will be personally selecting the 61 participants from all applicants and inviting them to an invitation only Satio studio photoshoot. Taking place during the first week of December at central London Vodafone store.
Eyes Wide Open promises to be an experience like no other. Each lucky participant will have their eyes captured by Jillian on the new Satio handset and then be immortalised as part of an exclusive online gallery. For those not lucky enough to be chosen or are of a voyeuristic nature, the Satio studio photoshoot will be streamed live on the Eyes Wide Open website.

It's funny they keep on saying it's 12.1 megapixels, considering 4000 x 3000 = 12,000,000 and not 12,100,000. One would think they cannot do simple calculations

Digital camera pixel resolution is generally described by the sensor capability rather than the size of the images they produce (or effective resolution)

I'll be nice to see some camphone images taken by a professional photographer to end this nonsense from amateur photographers on how good or bad Satio's (or any other 5MP+ camphone) camera quality is.

You don't get a professional photographer along side the phone, so amateur taken photos are still more relevant in any debate about camera phones

Hardly. Most camera resolutions are described by the effective resolution and a little extra to make it look more impressive to ignorant consumers. By the way, the sensor in the Satio is a 12.25 megapixel sensor.

well, thats certainly been my experience and also what I have read on the more popular digital camera sites like DPREVIEW. I can't imagine that saying resolution is 12.1 megapixels rather than 12 megapixel is going to be much of a wow factor, even for ignorant consumers!
I'm still not convinced about the sensor resolution as there is still speculation whether it is the original IMX060PQ or, as some believe, a modified version of that. Certainly the latest white paper states 12.1 megapixels. but thats a discussion more for another topic and indeed its already been debated in the original satio topic too

Take my primary DSLR as an example, the Nikon D700.
Shoots photos at a resolution of 4256 x 2832 pixels (12,052,922 pixels or 12.05 megapixels). Nikon says the effective resolution is 12.1 megapixels (which is about 47k pixels higher than the real effective resolution). The sensor is a 12.9 megapixel sensor.
I really can't see where the 12.1 megapixels come from - it's certainly not the effective resolution or the sensor total.
And yes, it may not seem like that big of a difference, but I've heard people saying that a 3.2 megapixel camera is better than a 3 megapixel camera - simply because of the added 0.2 megapixels, which again in reality propably is more like an added 0.146 megapixels.

All you get it a picture taken of your eye? Surely free Satio's could be given to all winners? That'd might actually intrigue me to enter...
