Why would a nearly 10mp digital camera take blurry close-up pictures?

All lenses require a certain minimum distance from the subject. This has nothing to do with the megapixel rating of the camera. One could interpret "blurry" a few different ways: 1) out-of focus...this is lens related. 2) jagged/blotchy...this is megapixel related. 3) streaky...this is caused by movement. Assuming that you meant #1, do a little experimenting to find the minimum in-focus distance. Most lenses require ~3-4 feet, but there are definitely exceptions. Also, look for a "Macro" setting...this is solely for closeups. Finally(and this will hurt a bit): Amateurs think cameras *take* pictures...pros use cameras to "make" pictures. Learn the limitations of your camera and work within them to create wonderful pics. ------------------------------------------- 9-07-2006 When you are taking a "close up" picture, you most always should use a tripod. That close is very sensitive for movement of any kind....even if you had a 15 megapixel.. :-) ......another tip....if you are taking a closeup or any picture where your shutter speed is going to be below 100th, put it on a tripod, and set it to "self timer", and shoot the picture. ABSOLUTELY no camera shake.

What are the main qualities in a digital camera that should be compared when searching to buy a new digital camera?
The main things I would recommending looking at before purchasing a digital camera would be, how clearly the pictures turn out (blurry pictures or clear pictures), how much data the camera can hold, and the design of the camera. I would also look to see how much the memory cards are for the cameras. Different types require different types of memory cards and could cost more.

How to Take Sharper Digital Pictures?
A lot of consumers complain that they always take blurry pictures with their digital cameras. Using digital cameras can be very frustrating, especially when it comes to the quality of the picture that is being taken. Here are some tips that should help you sharpen those digital pictures. • If you have a digital camera with an Image Stabilization feature or Anti-Shake feature, this will help you greatly reduce the blurry picture problem. Make sure you have this option turned on, if your camera features it. • If you are able to use a tripod, this can also help in reducing the amount of blurry pictures taken from your digital camera. As you may know, unlike your hand, a tripod does not usually shake while taking a picture. Therefore, the pictures that are taken using a tripod are typically less blurry. • If you are unable to use a tripod, try bracing your arm or shoulder against a steady object. This can eliminate some of the shaking that occurs naturally from your hand while taking a picture. However, if there is nothing to brace your arm or hand on, then try keeping your elbows tucked in at the waist, which will also help eliminate some of the natural shaking of the hand. • Try to pre-focus the image you want to capture in the viewfinder before pressing the shutter release button. Typically, on most digital cameras, you can focus on an image, press the shutter release button half way and the camera should try to auto-focus the image automatically. Once it has auto-focused then press the button completely down, to ensure a sharper digital picture. When first learning how to use a digital camera, your pictures may not come out in the quality you were hoping for. But by following these simple steps, you will achieve sharper digital pictures in no time at all.
