The Canon 1-chippers I've seen tend to have a reddish picture with

very high contrast (and a bit of motor noise in the audio) and not

outstanding image sharpness; the Sony TRV33 picture has excellent,

neutral color, very good sharpness, and minimal (for a good-resolution

1-chipper) motion-artifacting. Contrast is high (though moderate

compared with the Canons) and low-light range is very limited (the

TRV19/22 are better here, as are some Canons, but at the expense

of good-light picture quality). Other than the miserable touch-screen

controls, I think the TRV33 is a "gem" (but I wish I had grabbed

the similar TRV27 when it was available - it had the better

button/wheel system for changing settings).
