I'll be honest, I've never used zoom browser to do post work, so I can't answer honestly or in a useful manner.
As mentioned in my PM, it's a well-know fact that CCD-based systems give out inherently spectacular looking JPEG results straight-out-of-the-camera. Are they actually better, I can't say because it all depends on what the final output is going to be, what the shooting conditions are and also, even with those cameras, some sort of post production work is necessary, so what sort of post-processing style is involved also plays a huge part in the perceived final results.
You could always learn the ehemz 'more fanciful' LOL! post-production techniques which are applied even, and I believe, in other koffkoffbrand-basedsystemskoffkoff, or you could learn more about post-processing techniques AND your system, and simply crank up the shrpness and contrast levels in your camera's settings' menu for now! :bsmilie:
You could choose NOT to learn the basics of post-processing, but that's one huge and very powerful tool that you would be depriving yourself of.
I'll put it as honestly as I can, with no offense to anyone: It doesn't matter which brand or model you use UNLESS you're shooting in a very specific set of circumstances that's in one way or another, particularly demanding on the equipment.
EACH and EVERY brand and model will have their strengths and weaknesses, and you'll have to get intimately familiar with them in order to get optimal results under different shooting situations.
Having said that, some cameras and lenses are designed with a bias towards this or that tyoe of shooting or shooting situations, even though manufacturers would love you to believe that every product that rolls off the deisgn-board can do everything well!
