I remember @Mtz saying one of the reasons Viofo dash cams have such good image quality was the use of a high quality lens.
I wonder if they have started using a lower quality lens as a cost saving measure?
No, that's not how it works, Panz. Lenses themselves don't generally go out of focus in direct sunlight. The problem is almost always in the lens mount module. Metal lens barrels are the most dimensionally stable in high heat but many in today's cameras are made of FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) while fairly stable tends not to be so stable when compared to cast aluminum ones, Could be there was a part change with the lens module whatever it is/was made of but I suspect the lens is up to the usual Viofo high standards, especially with a new sensor of this caliber.
