Droid Focus Problem Quietly Fixed

The camera in the Droid has been the focus of numerous user complaints who feel that a sophisticated 5 MP camera with flash and auto-focus should take better pictures. I have posted pictures I’ve taken with the Droid that show a fuzzy lack of focus, and I have regularly found the camera to fail to focus properly. The problem with auto-focus has definitely been wide-spread, although not every user has seen it. It may be a moot point as users are reporting that the Droid has started focusing properly every time, with no change to the phone.

I can say that the Droid I am evaluating has started working flawlessly, with no action on my part. The auto-focus works well every single time now, where before it was a seldom seen thing. I have not reset the Droid, nor seen any evidence from Verizon nor Motorola that a fix has been pushed to the phone. Based on my own experience, and that being reported by Droid owners, I am confident that a fix has been pushed OTA.

Here are two photos shot in a simple “point and click” mode, using auto-focus. You can see the difference easily.
