Hey Moods
If you could post one of the images from the camera we can all see what your are trying to describe... poor image quality as Tamlin has suggested can be caused by lens, sensor, compression or special effect issues...
The EXIF info in the image should tell us what your camera settings were when the image was taken which will lead us to better suggestions.
One thing i'v experienced with the Kodak P&S Cameras is a relatively low effective flash range... so, if you're shooting indoors where light is deceivingly low and the flash is firing, your subject may be just outside of it's effective range...
Try taking an outdoor shot of something with vivid colors during full daylight... this should give you a better example of the cameras capabailities... unfortunately, that can be difficult this time of year
