Artifacting

Just trying to get some tips. I did a shoot in low light a couple of nights ago. It was a live music performance in a club. I used 2 cameras the AF100 and a Canon D60 SLR.

On the Af100 I used lumix 14-140 zoom
On the D60 I used a canon ESF 18-155 zoom

I knew the light would be bad but i wasn't expecting the DSLR to outperform the AF-100 in the dark spots. I used the DSLR as a secondary camera about 30-40 feet from the stage just to get a wide shot of everything and used the AF-100 for close-ups and such.

The Canon seemed to outperform the AF-100 in the dark spaces. There was little to no artifacting on the DSLR, this surprised me and I'm wondering if my settings are off, maybe I need better glass. I'm just confused, the DSLR shots look really smooth and the af-100 looks grainy at best.

I know there are probably a thousand variables but any help is appreciated.
 
We need more info on the settings you used on both cameras. Without that its impossible to say. Also some frame grabs would help.
