The TRV33 will give you a bit sharper image with a bit better

color, but at the price of somewhat more restricted low-light

range. If room interior shooting is not "your thing", you will

probably be happier with the TRV33 - it has a very nice

picture in good light for most subjects (not rock walls,

though, for some reason - I suspect the texture is "seen"

as noise by the camera and it gets processed...;-). The

TRV22 has a "good-average" pleasant picture, with no

outstanding characteristics either good or bad (which

can be a "plus"...;-). Both are good cameras...
