I think your camera is OK, the problem is your "close up filter" that you use for enlarging the slides. These things are prone to CA. You can get away with a lens made out of two glasses (called achromatic and being expensive), but most of these things are made out of a single glass and mess up the colours. I never have heard about an apochromatic lens to put in front of a point and shoot. You can try to use your camera without this lens in macro mode and crop the image later in GIMP. With luck there is enough resolution left.
