Yes, the low end DV cameras also have very small CCD-sensors and plastic lenses - and I admit I'm picky about them too ;)
You can notice similar issues in sharpness and color between different DV cameras too, I'm especially picky about how they reproduce the colors of solid red objects. Highend 3-chip cameras really blow the low end away.
Anyway, that's not really the issue - it is still very impressive video quality we get from a device the size of a box of cigarrettes which we keep handy all the time.
