in addition to what\'s been mentioned,
you\'re also comparing shots from two different firmware versions and two completely different environments. it\'s hard to diagnose a problem when the samples aren\'t compared under the same circumstances.
i would up the shutter speed to at least 1/500-640, slow the servo tracking to default setting, and slow the frame rate to 8 frames/sec. try using the center point only as well.
you might also consider setting everything back to default, just to measure what changes help vs. make things worse.
it took some learning for me, but it really is a great camera after you understand how the many settings interact with one another.
