Photo Quality
Going back to the Camera, I put this slides, to compare the quality of pictures between Sony Cyber-Shot T-900 (DSC)[check out the new line of Cyber-shot cameras] and the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 (X10), Make sure you click on the little message icon at the bottom left corner of the slide, to reveal the caption.
All in all the picture quality taken with the X10 are great, they have advantages and disadvantages like any other camera. It doesn't have a burst mode, which is really handy while taking multiple pictures of a moving object, it does have Sport Scene which more or less accomplish the same idea. the X10 seem to struggle a little bit more than my T-900 while taking pictures in bright settings (pictures taken directly to the light source). Now pictures taken in bright settings are fare superior and color rich than my T-900.

A great practical feature that the Xperia X10 has above my Cyber-Shot T-900 is that it has Geotag. This remarkable feature allows you to "Geotag" (add the coordinates to the file's info) your pictures and videos. This is a handy setting/option while on a trip, let's say to South Africa for FIFA's World Cup this summer. There are many ways to take advantage of this "Geotag" one of them is to save them in folders either by date, or location or event, while transfering them to Picasa directly or indirectly.
To transfer the pictures directly its simple, it only requires your X10 and Internet access, find the pictures you want to upload, click on the envelope icon (to share it), select Picasa, either create a new folder or upload to an existing folder.
The other option, indirectly, will require a Computer [check out the new Sony VAIO line up] your Xperia X10 and Internet connection, transfer the files to your computer either by Bluetooth or USB Cable.
1) Bluetooth, it's simple and easy to use but it has some downfalls, it will drain your battery, and it won't allow you to transfer files as fast as using the USB cable. But convenient if you don't have your USB cable with you.

2) By using the USB cable is the fastest way to transfer files, and while you're doing that your phone will be charging, a win win option.

Picasa plus Geotag will allow you to create a Map of the places you visited in a specific date. For people like myself who enjoy taking hundreds of pictures, it has an extremely useful setting which map out the route you walked/drove/biked etc while taking those pictures.
If you're using any digital camera or perhaps the Sony alpha 330 DSLR camera [add link to it] , like most cameras it doesn't not have a built in GPS. Sony has a solution to geotag pictures from pretty much any digital camera. The GPS-CS1 is a coordinate tracker, simple to use, as long as the time and calendar settings are the same in both your camera and the GPS-CS1 will work seamlessly. The way it work is by uploading the photos to the computer, connecting the GPS-CS1 and by using the timestamp info from the photos and the coordinates at that specific time Sony's software will do the rest.
If you're in a trip somewhere in globe, the least thing you want to happen is that you missed out on something because you forgot that it was time for a museum tour, opera, soccer game, your plane or train, etc. This is where the Sony Ericsson's Android wonder the Xperia X10 comes handy yet once more.
Xperia X10 allows you to sync it to Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Gmail, Picasa and more importantly Sony Ericsson. This is by far the easiest way to manage, edit and take full advantage of the "Calendar App".
Editing the calendar it's as simple as creating an account at Sony Ericsson, editing the calendar and sync the X10, simple steps check the step by step gallery.
Another cool feature is that you don't have to hang up to be able to use the camera; that's right if you're using speaker or any hands free (perhaps the Sony Ericsson MW600) you can still snap a picture or video while on the phone. Sadly you can't listen to music or audio from videos using Mediascape and the Camera at the same time; none the less you can use a third party music player app for that.
The Xperia X10 is more than a smartphone, its a computer, a camera, music and media player, agenda, alarm, weather, traffic conditions, navigation, digital newspaper, web browser, social network hub, oh and it can do pretty much all of them and more at the same time.
"Sony provided me with a free Sony Ericsson X10 phone and a PSPgo and FIFA Soccer 10 game in connection with my participation in the Sony Ericsson/Sony Style X10 Blogger Contest, which requires me to blog about Sony and/or Sony Ericsson Products."
Truly an amazing phone. There's so much one can do with it. And thank you for making it possible for us to see what this phone can do. Amazing pictures btw. I think you have done a great job showing us the ins and outs of the x10. Good info and pictures of what the phone can really do. You really put it to the test! Now, I can decide what kind of phone I really want to buy. x10 hands down.
ReplyDeleteSony Ericsson Xperia X10 stands out mainly for bringing Sony Ericsson Timescape, which is making all the communications link whether social networks like Facebook, Twitter, or directly e-mails, photos. Continuing with the software, brings Mediascape. this is a very good mobile phone with all of the great features.
