Hi Popo,
Your Sony pictures are horribly underexposed. When I had my Lumix TZ-3 new a few years ago, I did similar tests. I learned that the problems this has (e.g. noise, smudging, posterisation) get worse in shadow or underexposed areas. It is virtually impossible to lift the shadows with a curve/level tool in photoshop. You might be interested to study that yourself and retry with a hotter exposure from your Sony which matches your Canon.
