I'm a noob with a tiny point and shoot (canon sd200).

I just took out an olympus dslr for a day and using it without much photography knowledge just trail and error with every setting. I also took my point and shoot out to take the same picture.
In every situation (I'm not surprised) my point and shoot looks nicer than my dslr. I don't know what I am doing so that is why. Would you still recommend a dslr for me to grow into even if I totally suck right now (taking nicer pictures with AUTO with a pocket camera).
I'm thinking of getting a S2/3 because its a medium step from a point and shoot.

For one thing, you should notice wider dynamic range with the Oly or any other dSLR. P&S cameras apply sharpening, contrast & saturation to your images. The dSLR does not. That is why the images don't look as good as your SD200. If you do the proper post-processing, the images from any dSLR will look MUCH better. A lot has to do with the physcal size of the sensors....the larger sensors use larger pixels, which mean better light gathering.
