It depends on the terrain. The default "landscape" mode on my camera captures the contrast between green, rocky mountains and blue sky really well. I use the "bright light" mode on snowy terrain, but also take normal "landscape" shots and just pick the best. I have not found a mode on my camera that really captures desert shots very well.
I also adjust the Contrast and sometimes Levels of the photos in Photoshop. The only way to get a decent looking desert shot is to heavily adjust the Levels, and sometimes it ruins it.
One of these days I'm going to break down and buy a digital SLR.
