Is it possible to focus until you can see the pixels, like a door-screen effect, or the depixelation takes away some of the sharpness of the image?

No, that's not possible with this projector. Focusing on the projected image merely insures that the resolution of the picture is sharp and clear...

Images are generally sharp and door screen effect is practically absent when viewing at least 2 meters away. But yes you can focus and see the jagged lines when you come very close (1 foot away) to the screen

Yes. There is an adjustment next to the viewfinder that allows for fine tuning of the focus.

If you're seeing grainy before snapping the picture it sounds like you're not waiting for it to fully auto-focus.

No, it cannot. Anything outside of th 2-3 inch range is out of focus. This product is a complete waste of money.

If it's at a different angle (up high or down low) you can adjust it. If it's to the right or the left, the picture will be slightly distorted

This is not a fixed focus lense. You can vary the distance from screen then focus lense to clear image. The focus distance is limited but you don"t need much to clear the image. I hope this answers your question. I do enjoy the projector, well made and high quality overall.

i don't know a thing about photoshop, but when i d/l pictures to other programs, it often takes a few seconds for them to "load." this has them starting out blurry and then clearing in a matter of seconds, at most.

In my personal experience, it's a bit difficult to focus in lowlight situations. If it's as dark as a room with very dim lights, then I do not recommend this. In addition, I try to keep the ISO at a max of 1600. If I have to, I will go up to 3200. The noise/grain is noticeable around 3200, and it is a bit noticeable even at 1600.

Not sure what the screen door effect is but the image is very good and not distracting at all. Individual pixels are not visible.

Yes you can. However I returned the one I bought as the edges were out of focus. Maybe I just got a defective one... I don't know!

Unfortunately not. It's the one thing I miss, being an old fashioned camera user. I did find that I quickly got used to it though since most do away with the view finder these days for a good screen (this camera has a nice, clear, large one). A little difficult in bright light.

The LifeCam Studio camera has an option to deselect 'Auto Focus' and manually set focus on 'Properties' screen. It occasionally trips back in when there is a power cut but my system has been running for 12 months 24/7 on manual focus without any glitches. Very pleased.

I was extremely worried about this, but it really ended up being a non-issue. At a completely ridiculous distance from the TV (6 inches away -- think nose to the screen), you can make out the subpixel layout. At a distance of 3-5 feet, you can make out some additional jagginess on diagonal lines in some very specific circumstances (white text on a back background). At greater than five feet, the effect disappears entirely.

You can adjust the brightness and the contrast. It also has 300,000 pixels resolution.

I've had mine for almost a year now. Unlike the previous posters, I haven't had any issues with focus. However, I have recently discovered 3 dead pixels in the CCD each separated pretty far from each other. I shrink most of my pictures for web use so it's not really an issue with me but it's not good when there's more than a couple of dead pixels in your CCD. Otherwise it's been pretty good; I do like it a lot.

You might not be able to. When I received mine, it was blurry. I threw it away because of how frustrated I got with it. It never focused.

Yes, it's very noticeable one you open your photo up on a computer. I also noticed with my camera that it's also difficult for it to auto adjust and focus in on something. If you want sharp clean images I wouldn't recommend this, but if you don't mind and would like the fish eye feel then go for it.
