Taking photos of documents is a real pain, I agree with that, but if you really need that function you will have to by some other phone.
I really don't understand the obsession with photographing documents, most of the docs I need are created on a computer, I can email them to my phone or bluetoothe them to it, as for business cards, what's the difference in adding a contact, you can't phone someone from a photograph ? If someone needs info from me I send them my phone number or an email, but maybe I'm missing something or just unprofessional 
EDOF is the best photographic system I've ever come accross, it's fast, easy and requires zero skill, it's not very good in bad light, but then again neither are my eyes, EDOF ! EDOF ! EDOF !!!!!
. You have to be as much objective as possible. Nothing better than just capture the moment with a picture!?
@cmc_01 , you seriously mean this ?
' I don't really want to to do this, but will removing the plastic film lens protector help?'
It's delivery packaging !! Like the plastic on the rest of the phone, leaving a platic cover over the camera will distort the pictures terribly, generally speaking all pictures apart from close ups ar excellent with the E7, but leaving the cover over the lens is about as much use as spreading vaseline over it !!
The point is for me personally, if I plan on doing anything like 'serious' photography, I have a digital camera, I would never need to photograph a document or business card at work, and if away on vacation I would take my 'gadget bag' which would have Camera and spare phone in it, along with travel charger, memory sticks , headphones and travel speakers, so I'm covered.. Anyone who has a major need for a mobile scanner, needs to read the specs of the single phone they are going to run there business with and ensure it meets the specs they require. I am more than happy with the E7
