Positioning

No matter how you look at it, the Sony Ericsson C902 will always be compared to the Sony Ericsson K850i. Both are positioned as imaging-savvy solutions, and both come armed with 5 Mpix cameras. On the face of it, they don’t seem all that different, and the C902’s skinnier profile is entirely due to new technologies and hardware that don’t affect its image quality. That’s the train of thought of most consumers, basing on common sense. But nothing is further from the truth. Let’s run a quick question-answer game. For instance, does the presence of “Cyber Shot” mean the manufacturer’s ultimate goal is to elevate the image quality on its handsets? Obviously not. What they want to do is make it as comfortable as possible to take snaps, which is quite a difference. The same paradigm is ruling the market of compact cameras that are designed with the “point and shoot” principle in mind, with all modes that the user might need available via shortcut buttons. But, at the same time, having the same megapixel count as, say, a cheap reflex camera doesn’t automatically put some compact in line with professional cameras quality-wise. Nevertheless, the Average Joe feels better about digital compacts, since they are pretty straightforward, intuitive and take reasonably good shots without making the owner puzzle himself over settings. Furthermore, having swapped their compact cameras for more professional tools, many spend a lot of time before they start getting the hang of it and taking more or less acceptable pictures. Do they really need it? Is it worth the money and time? For perfectionists the answer is as clear-cut as it can only be, but on the other hand, most people don’t crave for better quality than that put up by digital compacts, all they need is ease of use. Basically, that’s the audience the C902 and the likes have been brought about for. This approach is nothing new – Sony Ericsson’s Walkman line-up has enjoyed it as well, where pretty mediocre sound performance gets outshined by one of the most user-friendly player interfaces and music-centric extra applications. Add a pinch of fashion to all this you will get a typical high-end offering from Sony Ericsson.
