Hi,

I updated my C905 an now I have 2.7 camdriver (it was 2.4 before). Pictures are better. (friend of mine have C905 with camdriver 2.4 and pictures are better then on my phone even now)

About ISO. On K850i you can manually change ISO settings. I really do not know why I can't do it on my C905.???
Pictures taken in daylight without flash are great, but with flash there are som dark-yellow strange dots, here and there
And I must say that some pictures are better on K850i then on C905, at least colors are better and there is no dark-yellow parts. Strange?

Yes a currectly tweaked driver would improve the quality but not by a huge amount, pics would still be over processed and have that supressed noise effect, in the sony drivers there is nothing for noise reduction in them, where as most phone cams can make good daylight photos at there lower iso's with the C905 iso64 looks just as bad as iso400 hardly much difference, so even decreasing the iso wouldn't have much effect.

yes, that's all correct but IMPROVEMENTS are POSSIBLE.

I can see the diffrence between shots of 100 or 400 ISO.

It's not as you say quite a same. It's much more noise with higher ISO,

and you can see that.

Well that's a problem with mobilephones. Even if You have same model there is still difference between two phones. My friend did not updated yet but she can take better pictures with 2.4 camdriver than I can take with 2.7 driver. On MY phone camdriver 2.7 is better

(I am talking with expirience of three K850i and two C905, noticable difference between all phones, and I mean same models, if you have some friend with c905 take some pictures with her phone and with your and you will se the difference.... so drivers... yeah right.....)

I believe that firmwares in yours and hers phone,

are not quite the same. Must be a difference in a way....


I believe on firmware R1DA0032 is better 2.7


and on R1BA042 is better 2.4.....


And I know there is a difference between same firmwares... even when they have same names.

You are asking for a little too much in your original post.

I know the Driver can be tweaked slightly, and may improve pictures, slightly.

It wouldn't be like a major overhaul, Until someone puts their time and effort into it, then im satisfied with the quality of the original 2.7 driver at the moment

driver is not much important, real thing is firmware and camera processor

I still believe the driver can do some improvements trough it's settings.


Of course, maybe nothing spectacular, but still ....

sure thing but you can see, for example, better sharpness if you change sharpness in code. otherwise visible chages in quality are possible only thru different firmware versions

you have new driver v2.7 in latest FW but changelog (since v2.4) is cruel - no changes in quality at all, nothing new because SE never changed quality in drivers. so, what's new in v2.7?

- videotelephony 96x128 mode is 12fps (previously 10fps)
- new videotelephony mode 128x96

that's all. if you see something better, maybe because of different FW
