MOVIE MODE PROBLEM

i notice nobody has mentioned a problem i had with the camera (i say 'had' because i lost it). in movie mode, my camera continuously focused and refocused, so all the movies are blurred then clear... blurred then clear. i assume maybe it was a defect in my camera since no one else has mentioned this problem. as for the pictures, they were clear as a bell. i did notice that i shot a lot of blury pictures though. this wasn't a problem with my older 3 mp sony camera. the colors with kodak cameras seem more dead on. i've always had to take yellow out of all my sony pics using photoshop. anyway, i'm trying to decide what camera to buy now... same one or a different one. what i want is a compact camera that takes crystal clear photos and full size movies. email me if you have any suggestions!
