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 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!

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!
