Just bought this camera for my father. Quality is... Not better than t310 with mca20. T230 is supposed TO have 4096 colors but the pics have a lot of scaling at the colors. Dunno but i was not satisfied. I dont know the quality when transfered To a pc though

Hmmm...
But don`t foregot that the T230`s display can not give you the real view of the picture that you will capture. The MCA30 captures cif pictures (288*352), but has the function to enlarge the picture to "vga". On pc you can see the loss of the quality. But I think it makes really good pictures, try iy out and you will see too!

? MCA-30 makes pics in VGA mode so did MCA-20/25
only the T630 enlarges the CIF pics to VGA.

you can store pics on the phone 2
if you want your screen to give a bit better display.
click the cam in and push *##* there you can alter the color boost. standard its a 13 i think (its been a long time since i used MCA cams) don't set it to high cause then the pics will look very bad on your PC

@dj They come out pixelated if you use zoom when taking pictures.

Both cams are almost same. Only 30 has better designs and more art frames.

it depends on what you like the most.
if the vieuwfinder is enough for you the MCA-30 would the best thing.
if you like to watch trew a hole, then consider the MCA-25.

i think the MCA-30 is abit cheaper

yes it does. but for less money you can get the MCA-30.
the MCA-25 is only better when you want to use the hole in it and not the vieuwfinder.

My father better liked the mca30 because its less bulky. And a last question. When connecting cam to phone it automaticaly takes you to the cam menu. But when you exit cam menu, leave phone idle with cam on and then going to cam menu it says no cam connected. You have to discon nect and then reconect to work. Is this a bug of t230?
