I recently purchased the Sony DCRSX33ES for £150 but was very disappointed with it's performance, dull colours, noisy in indoor lighting, interlaced, 90min battery life, mpeg2 encoding, auto focus noise during playback, worse video quality than my Fuji S8000 compact camera! The only advantage was the better white balance and DVD resolution as opposed to VGA. Can anyone recommend a better camera around the same price range please?
