> Communicam Question - MCA-20 v MCA-25
Bookmark topic
I'm thinking about picking up a cam for my T68i (U.S. user, AT&T Wireless). I've looked at the comparisons between the MCA-20 and MCA-25, and can't figure something out. Seems like the MCA-25 is faster, has a better image quality, and offers more features (with the right firmware). The only advantage the MCA-20 seems to have is that the styling matches my T68i a little better.
But searching eBay, I see that the MCA-20 is selling for almost twice as much as the MCA-25. Any idea why? Are the MCA-20 sellers trying to rip me off, or is there a bigger demand for the MCA-20 for some reason I don't know?

The MCA-20 is harder to get these days, simply because the MCA-25 is much better. Those sellers are trying to rip you off! There things happen not seldom to rare accessories, today I bought a HPM-10 via eBay for $50 (shipping cost from Canada to Belgium included) while I could get it in The Netherlands for 'only' $200 (shipping cost excluded!).

the MCA-20 styling goes better with the t68i, but as for features, its probably best to go for the MCA-25... has the digital zoom

digital zoom is actually a little overrated as you can usually get better results with software on the pc. however if its a pic you want to zoom and use directly on the phone or in an mms then the zzom is obviously easier to use in those cases.

Don't expect too much from that digital zoom though ;-)

but surely it would be better to have the feature than to not have it!

Only MCA-20's pro is a little bigger memory.

correct, according to the
MCA-20 FAQ it can store 14 640 x 480 pics whereas the
MCA-25 FAQ says it can only store 10 at that resolution.

thanks for the quick responses. the digital zoom isn't a big issue for me (in fact, I'd need a firmware update to even use it). I just didn't know why the MCA-20 was selling for more.

The MCA-20 can store more pictures, correct, but remember the quality is lower!
