Spotlight Cam (Battery) Image Quality?

I have had the Floodlight cam for over a year and have been very happy with it, including the image. I just bought a Spotlight cam (battery) for the backyard and the image is no where near as good. Is that the way it's supposed to be or is there something wrong with it? I guess what I really want to know is, should the image from the Spotlight Cam be as good as the Floodlight Cam? Thanks!
