$prodCollection = Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/product_collection')->addCategoryFilter($category);

Need add filter like - statu - Alex 2012-07-15 21:30

Need add filter, like - status. But if you want use Resourse model, this is very bad solution, becouse will very depend with speed of Magento. Use only Models - Alex 2012-07-15 21:36

As seen here : magento forum

$category_object = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load( CATEGORY_ID ); // If you don't already have one
$total = Mage::getModel('catalog/layer')->setCurrentCategory( $category_object )->getProductCollection()->getSize()

Will show correct number of products
