Hello everyone!
My Handphone is a Ericsson T68i and just bought the Communicam
MCA-20 for it.
I think its a wonderful toy, a little expensive-but who cares!
The thing is, when I use my Cam outside (in the Daylight), it works normally. But when I use my Communicam inside (Roomlight-Nighttime), we can't see anything cleary and the Picture is just Dark. Faces and other things that we "pictured" are just unseeable, even if we use helping Lights, to bright up the room!
Is there anybody who shares my problem? What can we do to make it better? Or maybe is it just the way it is?
My statement for the Communicam:
Dont't expect clearly Pictures every time, many troubles.
You will get a good Photo-Camera for that Price.
It's just something for Ericsson-Fans (including me)!
Thanks for helping and greetings from Indonesia!

I use the MCA-20 and T68i too.

Well, it depends on how dark the room is.
And of course,..you dont have a flash-option, hehe.

Once the pictures are transferred to a pc,..they look a lot better, basically because you can then see all the "right" colors.

I've taken pictures indoor,..so have others here on Esato,..think they look quite allright.

This camera can never replace a "real digicam" thats for sure,..but I think its quite ok for web-use and pictures to e.g. the phone-book.

Hello Jan,

please could you post some of your "Indoor-Shootings" to my Forum, so I could compare it with mine. Better and Badder ones in small Resolution? I think there are others who will thank you too!

Hi Timokube,

I live in the Netherlands but i'll be going to Jakarta on holiday soon. In your post i read that you were from Indonesia too. I was just wondering how much you paid for the camera. Because i was planning on buying the cam over here in amsterdam but if it's cheaper in jakarta i will just wait.

I hope you can help me....thanks,

Shaloe

Hello Shaloe,
you can buy it two ways:
1. With warranty at Erricsson - 1.300.000 Rupiah (160 US-Dollar)
2. Black-Market (no warranty) - 1.050.000 until 1.150.000 Rupiah
I hope I helped you! How much is the Price in Netherlands?
greetings Timo

I think its rather good quality pics fo such a small device, but it should be outdoor pics. Otherwise you need really strong light indoors.

Thanks for the prices everyone. Does anyone have an adress for me where i can by it for that price. Because 800.000 is a good price. In holland the cheapest i found was 149 euro but they do not have it in stock. They have to order it and the delivery time is 2 weeks! I ordered one now for 159 euro. But if the price in JKT is really only 800.000 for the MCA-20 i will just cancel my order. So can anyone help me with a reliable adress that sells the mca-20 for 800.000?

Thanks.
