All i want to do is take pictures on my phone and put them on the computer. What's the difference between the mca-20 and the mca-25? I read that the mca-25 has "limited functionability" with the T68i. I'm hoping to just subsitute my digital camera with my T68i w/ cam. I'm only days away from buying one of the MCA models, which should I get? And how good is the picture quality?? Thanks for any input.

I think you should get the mca-20 because the zoom function of mca 25 is not applicable for t68i its only for t300 This post was posted from a T68i

Both Communicam models will not be as good as your digital camera. Highest resolution is 640x480 VGA, although the quality is around the best available for a camera phone you need to be aware that neither of these Communicam support flash or auto-focus of any kind.

The MCA-25 has a digital zoom that will not work on the T68i (unless the next firmware upgrade fixes that) but it does have a viewfinder lens in addition to the MCA-20's facility of using the 256 colour screen of the phone as a viewfinder.

Pictures are taken at 16 million colours, what you see on the 256 colour screen is not a fair representation of your actual picture!! The same can be said for the Nokia's as they have a better 4096 colour screen their pictures look better on the phone - but on computer you can notice the difference in 16 million colours. Generally, I find the Communicam takes better colour pictures.

I was v disappointed with my mca20 - it has very limited use due to screen 256 colours-i guess its still one of those must have gadgets though! This post was posted from a T68i

So bottomline is, mca-20 is fit,practical,cheaper for t68 but mca-25 is for new se models better with upcoming software upgrades for t68? Xmas is few weeks away and i hav to buy a cam for my t68, question is- when wil the upgrade be available!? That would be the factor for me in buying 20 or 25 This post was posted from a T68i

I would go for MCA-25

Why:
New Model (Better lens?)
Slim
Possibility of a firmware update to use the zooming function and other stuff

BUT:
The MCA-20 it's perfect for the Blue Artic design (Color combination).

I have a funny feeling that when the MCA-25 camera is released in the UK that SE will probably have a version with a flash to compete with Siemens. I can see this happening a few months after the MCA-25 is released in the UK. About 6 months after. This post was posted from a Nokia
