I have a SLR and i know a decent amount of information on photography. I just bought a Canon SD 790 which is the just digital camera but allows me to adjusts a lot of settings. What are the best settings for outdoors like mountains, trees, waterfalls and such. I take a lot of pictures when i rock climb and hike. So a lot of outside scenery stuff...
 
The settings will vary a lot depending on time of day, direct sunlight, shadow, shade, a ton of stuff.

One thing that can help, a set of filters.

Cokin makes a filter adapter for digital cameras, and it will use their 'A' series filters. You may want to try something like that. You can get a polarizing filter to help with harsh sun and glare. They also make a bunch of other filters for different outdoor situations that can add a lot to a normal picture.

I included a few example links below that show the filter and what it can do for a normal looking scene.
