What do people think about the fit of this jacket? I know the picture isn't the best, but I'm mainly interested in people's thoughts on the overall length?

Upper body fits well, but the jacket looks too long.

I agree with this.

Judging by where the pockets are located it looks like you could shorten it slightly and not throw off the balance of the coat.

I have only started to build my own wardrobe but since you requested more opinions I wanted to give you mine in an attempt to help.

I hope this has been helpful.

Edit: Ah, it seems Murl has added what I had forgotten to say. A few more pictures, if possible, would definitely help.
