the a63 (which i think in aus they call it d63) is pretty good. i'd vouch for it from what i've seen in the shops, compared to sony. i didn't have a side by side test though, but i preferred the sharp over the sony on offer. in the end i ended up with a d83 though, which IQ/PQ is pretty much similar to the d63 apart from the 100hz thinggy, which i honestly can't sense at all. hope this helps
