The same complaint arises with the SH-50 -

Yes that does not look to good either. This is not a camera I would want to use for a day out general shooting, I would use my X-S1

Just one afterthought - you do have the compression set to FINE, on the first MENU page? The default was NORMAL on my SH-50.

Thanks for the thought but I have tried both fine and normal the smearing effect is the same.

There is not a problem with the cameras; it is with your expectations. There has never been any camera with a 1/2.3" sensor that could render very fine detail, especially in superzooms. Until or unless you are willing to buy a camera with a much larger sensor and lens, this is as good as it gets for now. The Sony RX-10 is good as it gets right now if you want to render much more fine detail. The E-M10 with a 14-140mm would also be a great choice and be a very versitile choise being able to put other lenses one it when needed. But, having the much larger sensors and lenses will cost you much more money, weight, and size. It's all about compromises and what your priorities are, and budget of course.

I understand there is no problem with the camera, and that a larger sensor is able to render a better amount of detail.

The discussion here is relating to the way these small sensors render detail, and compare like for like sensor size. Some do it better, or with a more pleasing look than others.
