Arroyootje, fine your pictures are very good i do agree on that aspect,because its been on the computer, okay what about using it as a background picture what do you think? its not the same is it?
Maybe if i could configure my pop3 email maybe i would then be convinced. I have tried the pop3 on the t68i and its not still working so tell me what will i do to make it work? |

On the phone you can have a nice pic, but you have to take a few pics in correct lighting and stuff of course, it's nothing like the quality I posted, but I use it as fun for my phone and a way to take ok-quality pics to send through email.... And it's great for that 
As for configuring your email, I'm not really sure how you do that...
Have fun

I think communicam has bettery quality in outdoor activity, with the one in low lighting looks like the communicam show poor result.
Anyway all communicam that enter to my country labelled Made in China, so I wonder where is your communicam made from ?
and since communicam can handle 640 x 480 picture in 16 million color then it will 640 x 480 x 3 = 921600 or at least 1 Mega pixel, why it should be multiply by 3 ? because it's in true color or 24 bit, remember 640 x 480 is standard for 8 bit, so for 24 bit it should be multiplied by 3. |

Thanks for the opinions! 
I'm still laughing at the person who claimed that the MCA-20 takes better pics than a 2.3 megapixel camera! Becuase my Ixus can take pics up to 1600x1200 dpi! If your MCA-20 really can do that, I would buy it in a second!
Anyway, I don't think it is worth the money, but thats only my opinion! It's fun, but not useful for me!
I'm just not a signature kind of guy.. |

Hmmmm.. .when we talk about 1 megapixel digital camera, the highest resolution is about 1152x872, "true" colour .
So 640x480 at "true" colour is 1 megapixel too, eh?

That because Digital Camera has special compression scheme that allow more higher resolution with lower memory, but that not happened with communicam I think... |

my mca-20 is made in china.....
better than 2.1pix camera in terms of handyness, u can shoot ppl w/o them knowing...
you can also view the samples up there... same quality w/ any 2.1megpix camera.. it will depends on how you print it, printer, paper...etc.
of course the lighting will be the major prob |
