[top]I am using an Olympus DSLR E520 and a point and shoot Olympus SP800UZ.

Technically speaking the E520 should take a better quality picture than the SP800UZ. BUT same shots seem to come out better on 800UZ. I have played with the settings on the E520. e.g. ISO put it up in stages to 1600, aperture priority, shutter priority and exposure bracketing but the SP800UZ leaves it for dead. Any thoughts please?
I can see looking at the settings for each camera that they are different. So I am guessing the answer will be "get them both to the same settings". Sounds easy but that will be my next exercise. To see the settings click the picture.
