Dsc-p10 help with photo quality

[tepjr]

I recently went from a sony 1 megapixel to a 5 m-pixel dsc-p10. I love the size and functions, but the camera just doesn't seem to perform as well as i thought it would indoors. Haven't used it outdoors yet, but taking pictures if my son indoors during the day i can see some distortion on his face...it just doesn't look as perfect as i thought it would. I am mainly using the auto functions, and on the highest quality settings.

Do I need a different camera..I'm not stuck on Sony..if there's something better for $400. This is what I paid.

Please let me know if there's something I can do to get better clarity. By the way, i was using flash on normal setting.

Thanks
