The deciding factor for red eye is the distance between the lens and the
flash and the subject, or pre-flash red-eye reduction. Are those two
cameras very different sizes or flash positioned differently?

Blur may be caused by a number of things, probably too long of a zoom??
Do you have an example with EXIF shooting settings?
