tried shooting a bit around the house when in from work tonight (still nice and bright outside) and things were a lot better ... still a bit disappointed with the auto focus though, sometimes takes that 1-2 secs to refocus when i pan 
if the 3w light is rubbish i'll probably try the sony hvl-10nh (10w halogen battery powered) i'll let you know how i get on with the 3w one after it arrives.

Piece of advice. Don't waste your money with on board lights. We call them stun guns.
You will need....I should stress this....you WILL need a light kit of some description. Your lighting is exacerbating your focus issues. There are certain basics you can't ignore. The less you know, in fact, the less you can ignore. Like I said earlier...before you spend another nickel, read up on basic lighting for video. Otherwise, don't bother. It will ultimately be a waste of time and money for you.
