Re: Sony DSR250?

Yeah that's probably it. It's a good camera for the price, but it
annoys me not to be able to focus crisply.

I have 2 of them along with 2 of the earlier DSR 200 and a DSR 300. It
is a very good cam, It is servo focus as are the VX2K, PD150s and
PD170s, undoubtedly the most popular cams on the planet by a huge
margin, Don't have a clue why you can't "focus crisply" while it is
not a complaint of any other owner that has had the camera a week or
more. If you can't, just leave it in autofocus and it will relieve you
of the burden and do an excellent job for you.
