When 14 megapixels doesn't mean much...
It'll be hard to see at clearly in the small views here, but you can see the very "muddy" details in the brick above and around the Welcome Home Interiors sign and the Sud's sign when viewing the larger versions.
I don't think its the lens (though it is pretty well centered area) because I don't see it in every test photo. I don't think it's JPG compression issue, either. I think its from a sensor crammed with teeny, tiny photon counters (pixels) on an equally teeny, tiny CCD chip. Noise in the machine?
I'd told myself the next time a decent P&S goes on sale for under $70 I'd get one as a pocket camera. The little Fuji did, so I did it. This is probably not a bad result for a P&S camera on sale for $59 w/ 4GB card and case. However, going from a 10mp DSLR to a 14mp P&S and seeing this result was - to me - quite a shock. (In fact, this muddiness reminds me the results from my first 2001 vintage HP C200 camera, though on a much smaller scale.)
It was a gorgeous day for taking a walk around Old World Wisconsin.

The Hidden Quilts buidling owners wouldn't allow any barn-type quilt decoration to be placed on their building, so one was placed on the old feed and grain next door.
2017 - now demolished, and Hidden Quilts is now on Main Street across from Garvey's.
Presented to the US Navy in 1899 by the State of Wisconsin for installation on the recently completed USS Wisconsin. It was cast with bronze salvaged from Spanish cannons captured in Cuba during the Spanish-American War. It remained on the USS Wisconsin until the battle shipped was scraped in 1922. From then until 1988 it resided in the Superintendents formal garden at the US Naval Academy in Annapolis. The Wisconsin Historical Society got the badger on long term loan from the US Navy and installed it outside the Governor's Office in the State Capitol.
Rumor says rubbing his nose brings one good luck. Hence, why his nose is not the same color as the rest of the statue.
