Albano, I'm not familiar with that camera but FWIW, I get fabulous 8X10's from my Optio S (3.0MP) shot at the highest jpeg setting. I run it thru PS and print on an Epson Stylus Photo printer @ 300dpi. I suspect some of your problems might be the resolution you're printing at - 240 is the lowest I use and depending on the image itself it can produce an acceptable result.
