The X68 Cam is a OEM Communicam, a 3rd party modle which is cheaper!

for more info go to http://www.threegmobile.net/xpress/x68.html

This looks better also as it will go with my T68(m)i

Cheers

i'm, thinking of buying this camera. but theres one thing i don't know. does it have ALL of the functions of the original mca-20, becuase the website doesn't menton anything about th ecolour boost menu whcih aparently makes photos look much better on the phone itself without making any difference to the image when on pc.

also, i want to see some pics talken with this "fake" camera please anyone have any to put on please?

I got the x68 recently.

I originally asked my auntie from hong kong to get me the mca-20 thinking it'll be cheaper. She told me it was HK $550 (about £50) so i thought great!! But when i received it a few days ago, I realised it was called an x68. Thus I knew it was a cheap third party product.

I havent used the mca-20 b4 but the x68 has a cheap plastic feel to it(Looks more like a toy!!) Function wise is ok. Apart from the 'shoot' button on the side, theres an extra on/off switch. When u switch it on, it automatically connects the device and takes u to the communicam menu. There are two options, picture size (640x480, 320x240, 160x120, and 80x60 ), and white balance. The camera can store from 14 to 208 pictures depending on the size.

The camera unlike the mca-20 which has a whole on the buttom for the strap is located at the corner. The pouch looks really cheap, u can tell not much effort has been put in the sewing. Picture quality wise, I wouldn't expect it to be better than mca-20.

Hey DigitalStorm..will u please post some pictures taken using the X68. I like to see if the quality is comparable to the MCA-20.

In Singapore, there are dealers who are selling this X68 at SGD 150 about 87 eur. I really wonder if it worth the money.

anyone got any links to any sites selling? i've searched with no luck.

btw, surely if the camera's are botht the same resolutiona dn there's no other stuff involved (ie, auto focus, flash, blah blah blah) then the pics should be exactly the same! correct me if i'm wrong.

Here in the Philippines the X68 costs 4800 pesos which is about 60 pounds. yes, it looks like a toy but i haven't tried it.
