I'd say that self-confidence is just what it says: confidence in one's self. Confidence all by its lonesome merely implies confidence in some specific thing. I might feel confident in my ability to handle a remote shoot, but when it comes to setting the thing up, I'm a hopeless mass of quivering flesh. No self-confidence.

I agree with Faldage. Would only add that to say that used in, "[He] is confident" as a stand-alone sentence, it is something close to "self-confident," and something archaic like "My, but he's confident," implies something else again.
