How far away from the target can the camera be to still get decent images (i.e. be able to identify people's faces and objects the size of your hand)?

A lot depends on lighting. In the house, about 10 - 15' away under good lighting conditions & no backlight (behind the object) to skew the video. Under dim lighting, it's hard to capture a good image from any length. The video is grainy at best.

maybe at 30-40 feet, on a clear day :-) I am very happy with the camera though. For what I use it for, it is perfect.

It depends on the ligth condition and the zoom that you are using.... remember autofocus take time and with facial recognition even more... so 2 seconds its fine

You can set the camera to macrozoom and get as close as you need to get-just play with the distance because it automatically centers the photo.

Michele, you should have no problem with that distance. I have used it the camera as close as 3" and as far as 50 yards. Good luck.

I've not used them from much more than 30' away. I'm pretty sure you can't get much farther away than that. And that's straight on from the lens. From an angle it's even less

Close to medium range. Of course a lot will depend on the, if any, ambient light there is available. The ir light is decent.

It's an IR remote, so you need a line of sight to the sensor on the camera. No need to be directly in front of the camera, but the sensor has to see the remote. I haven't checked the actual range.

Hey bob, The camera has a dynamic focus that I am pretty sure can take close shots, but not that close. This particular lense will take average distances from say 3-5" (do not have the specifics) to scenery. The only issue that I do not like about this camera is that the flash has a slight design flaw, sometimes when you use the flash the lens will shadow the lower portion of your picture. The camera in general is awesome, slight that small detail. You can check a little more expert opinion in dpreview (google it). They can give you more specs of the camera. Good luck!

You can focus on objects as close as 1.5 feet. For distance viewing, it brings everything 6-8 times closer depending on which model you get.

It can go up to 10" close to the subject, the magnification ration is 1:1, that means you can take a picture size of your camera sensor.

yes if you get too close. You have to keep your face about 10-12 inches away.

My experience is that the camera is limited to about 30 - 40 ft. The trigger seems to be the limiting factor.

I have one at my home pointing to a hunting cabin about 250 feet away from where the unit is. I have a wireless camera at the cabin and I never lose my camera. The signal is a little weak but it works. There is also all woods between the unit and the cabin. So if you have a clear shot I think you'll be in great shape. Hope this helps.

You'd want to "aim" camera...but I have great images 50 feet away. Have it on a pine tree along driveway. See everyone who comes and goes when I'm not home, ie: UPS guy, neighbors dog, etc etc.

It all depends on how detailed you want to see. I would recommend 80 feet to get a clear image that you can at least identify a person with daylight.
