Resolution
The C903 has a 5-megapixel camera that will yield still images with a resolution of 2580 x 2048. This far surpasses the camera on the W580i that only has a 2-megapixel sensor.
Interface
The C903's camera interface is pretty straightforward, with the live preview taking up the entire screen and menu options corresponding to the 2 soft menu keys.

Zoom
The C903 has a 16x digital zoom. This is a ridiculous level of digital zoom available since digital zoom works at the cost of the image quality; the bigger the digital zoom, the more image quality is lost.

Focus
The C903 has an auto-focus lens. Frankly, the higher the megapixel count on a cell phone camera, the more we expect it to have an auto-focus lens to maximize the potential for good pictures, and the C903 doesn't let us down here.
Flash
The C903's camera has a flash and the specs don't indicate what type of flash it is. It looks like the "flash" is actually two LEDs, which have shorter range and are more annoying than the Xenon type found on some cell phones and most dedicated cameras.
Video
The C903 is capable of recording video and also offers a video stabilizer feature, ostensibly to help you avoid nausea-inducing video sequences, a la Cloverfield.
