Hi all,
I want to buy a CommuniCam for my SE T300
But I heard that the MCA-25 has no memory to store on the camera itself.
And the MCA-20 does?
Also what camera has better qualtity.
I don't need the features with special effects and is the Zoom-Function really bad on the MCA-25?
IS there also a Zoom-Function on the MCA-20?
Does the MCA-20 works well on the T300 becausee it was designed for the T68
Sorry for so much questions hope that anyone can help me out
Greetings,
ThaDemon

You can find most of the information you require on the :es: website. I own a MCA-25: it has a viewfinder, 11 pictures in memory (640*480), effects and zoon function. The pictures are great if you have good lighting conditions.

I also use the MCA-25 with my T300. I'd get a MCA-25 if I were you... At http://members.lycos.nl/mathibus/foto you can find lots of pics, most of them were made using my MCA-25.

I have the 25 and it's all good here. I don't actually use it much tho. Especially since o2 slapped a 1k limit on my email attachments yesterday.

Mca-20 and Mca-25 are very similar in quality and features. MCA-20 has slightly more memory for storing pics internally than the MCA-25. It can store 14 at highest res compared to 10.
Here is the global support page for the MCA-20 and here is the global support page for MCA-25.
On these pages you can download manuals and read FAQs about the two.

The viewfinder on the 25 seems a bit pointless when you have a screen to look at. I wonder why they put it on. As for big pictures, thats another thing. 35k they take up, i never have that amount of free space on my phone.

I've got them both.Picturequality is the same but MCA25 is much faster and has lot's of special effects.So I would choose MCA-25

I found the viewfinder helpful in bright sunlight to get a better frame up of the picture when the screen wasn't too visible.
Indeed I often use the viewfindere for the same reason on my Sony P10 5 megapixel digital camera!

@BOSSHOGG: That viewfinder comes in real handy since the T300's screen has only 256 colors imo!

Hey Thank You all for helping me out
I see that's it recommended to take a mca-25
and at highest resolution the picture will take 35kb?
than i can store 1 pic on my phone
But ThnX!

Ok then, i retract my statement about the viewfinder. But the 35k i mentioned isn't the resolution, it's the file size of an extra large pic. So it all depends on how much space you have on your phone if you want to transfer it to pc dr whatever.

Yeah XL pics take 35 k whereas L pics take about 20. I an actually very pleased with the viewfinder (in fact with the whole cam) . Good choice mate, have fun with it!

hehe thnx!

show us some pictures sumtime!
Posted by ThaDemon
When I got it i'll hit some pics!
But first I also need IrDa
Posted by BOSSHOGG
Holy Moly!!! Just checked an XL pictures size on my phone taken by my mca-25. It's 54kb!!!! That's pretty big, takes ages to email as well.
Posted by ThaDemon
Whaha
No problem for me.
I will have 60kB free on my phone and send them trough IrDa or something
Posted by Vlammetje
Huh?? My XL's are only 35 kb??

On camera no thumbnails i think.
On phone with thumbnails almost double of the file size
is there no way to turn thumbnails off?
Posted by BOSSHOGG
The thing is, i can send it straight from the camera via email. Meaning i don't have to put it on the phone, the last one i sent was 62k! I think the colour boost trick may affect the filesize. I'm of to have a look.

what tha heck is a colour boost trial.
can it also be turned off or something?
Posted by BOSSHOGG
Typo sorry. Colour boost trick, you press *##* at the camera menu screen and you can adjust the colour setting, i have seen no noticible difference though.
I just sent another 2 XL pics to my phone on 255 colour, they were 48 and 49k, I have no idea how i managed to get a 60+k picture, but I swear I did.
