Nice camera that will not focus!

(Peter Mack - 8/13/06)

When my Coolpix 5400 quit due to "lens error" I bought a P4. I mainly use it for documenting instrumentation, close-up work of the inside of computers and the like. The auto-focus simply does not work on my model rendering it more or less useless. Works great beyond 20 feet but not at 20 inches. The autofocus passes right through best focus (it is not the the focus is not reachable). I also wish that the screen was detachable and could pivot like in some of the older Coolpix models.

Battery life is good, VR is good.
