My HD video looks like a camera from the 1970s?! SX710hs

I purchased a Powershot SX710hs, based on footagei saw in videos like this:

I intend to use it for starting my youtube channel on adventure motorcycling, filming indoors and outdoors gear reviews, wildlife, scenery, etc. But I've ran into a bit of a hiccup with it. My footage is coming out extremely graininy/noisy and I thought it was due to indoor low-lighting, because the outdoor footage i take seems to be acceptable. but indoors,whether 250~ watts of light or 1200 watts of light, it takes worse footage than my Samsung Galaxy S4 phone. any idea as to why this is? here are some is some sample footage. Thanks for any input.

use the speed setting on youtube to take a longer look and slow it down, i don't know if that would provide any insight. I have tried cleaning it up in Adobe Premiere Elements, but Neat Video and sharpening just aren't cutting it. its still grainy. it shouldn't be this bad should it?
