That example looks like it suffers from two problems.

First, noise from a high ISO. On your point and shoot, ISO 400 is probably very high, so you'll get lots of noise from the ISO.

Second, bad focus. It looks like you weren't actually focused on the subject at all. Your autofocus system may have been tricked by poor light. Usually in this case, you can hear your lens going in and out, trying to find focus. Do you have some kind of focus confirmation light, or does the camera somehow tell you where it's focused? That might help as well.
