Specifically I am talking about the level of "grain" (I guess noise) that I am getting in certain shots. Its mostly prevelant on shots where these alot of solid color (like a sky photo), but I can also notice it on close-up shots. Im also finding that I have to use a post-photo program to increase the sharpness on shots to bring out the detail in most all my shots.
What Im basically asking, is this a problem with all digital cameras (I dont really see that on these SLR/Non-film camera), or is it reduced the higher you go in the camera food chain. I am looking to upgrade my camera, however, an SLR or dSLR is (finanacially) just not an option at this time. I am also unable to "wait and save for a better camera"; as I need this camera for an upcoming vacation, and am going to need better shots than just "pointing and clicking".
Heres a couple of pictures Im talking about (and its really only obvious when the photo is at its maximum resolution):

You can see the "graininess" in the sky blue, as well as in the buildings in both shots. Would an S2IS and a combination of lenses do anything to improve this performance? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
