Now, that's better! Thank you for your responses, especially thank you Suzy_A - I treat your posts about cameras and camera optics as Gospel.
I have posted on a web site 2 images:

Top one is the Stupid mode
Lower one is the Stupid mode with post processing applied by DPP - sharpness and saturation.
This is what I complain about - if I wanted a "Happy snaps" then I would have used my crappy Sony camera, I expect quality even from Stupid or Basic modes.
