John,
You get what you pay for.
A phrase I coined some time back is ...
"While you hope to get what you pay for, you can just
about be assured, you won't get what you don't pay for"

If you paid $500 for a Sony some time back
you should consider getting something for $200
now. Pick a name brand. You will be amazed
at the improvement. 640x480=0.3 MPixels, that's
3 to 7 times worse. You get what you pay for.
