Not impressed. I wanted to use a normal camera and not my iphone around my car shop. I can not get it to focus on anything closer then 2 feet. I wouldnt think that is too close to be trying to focus on. It will auto focus and I can tell it is focus then it will lock in and go out of focus every time and take an out of focus photo. I use this for my shop camera and wanted to take photos of vehicle VIN tags inside the driver door and or the mileage display in the dash. Im not impressed with the camera in low light and needing to flash in sun light photos. I had high hopes for this Kodak FZ53 5X camera and it has let me down after about 1,000 photos. Overall I wish I would have returned it right away and tried another somewhat cheap camera before going to one around $100-$175 (hoping that it will work as god as any on my cell phone cameras have that is).
