If anyone knows of a good digital camera so that the pictures don't come out blurry up close 
, which is the problem that I have with my camera. I will like to take quality pictures and be able to see the details. What type of camera do you use? Any advice, thank you.
We have a Kodak EasyShare Z740 Digital Camera. Right now they are about half the price of what we paid just a few years ago.
We love it. It does videos too.

I had a professional photographer recommend a Sony. She said that right now she felt they were the best quality. One thing I would look at is make sure you get one that has optical zoom, not digital. Digital zoom doesn't actually zoom in, it just crops the image, so it is not as good of quality if you get optical. I hope this helps, photography is another hobby of mine!
I have a Kodak EasyShare as well, can't remember exactly which one. When taking pics up close, I get blurry pics unless I switch from the "mountain" to the "flower" option.
Before you go buy a new camera check your users manual and see if it has a macro function. That's what you need to use for close up shots to keep them from being blurry.
I have a Canon SD900 10megapixel and I love it, the picture quality is amazing. I used it for the 5 most recent photos in my gallery if you want to see some examples.
And you absolutely cannot go wrong with a Nikon, they make outstanding digital cameras. I have not had good luck with Sony but others may have had a different experience.
HTH!
Okay, here comes my nerdy/techy side... 
Nikon are definitely probably the best you can get out there. For me, next in line is Canon. I have a Canon A95. I bought it years ago and now much better ones are cheaper than I paid for it. (But my dream camera is an 8-MP Canon Digital Rebel SRL) But here are some of the things you may want to look for:
-Optical zoom (Carson explained it perfectly)
-Megapixels (mccorda explained it well too)
-Scene options - you can get a real inexpensive camera w/o a scenes, I don't recommend it. Scenes options automatically set the settings for you based on the 'scene' you choose, giving you the best possible automatic results. I have 13 potential scenes I believe. My sister has more than that. examples of the scenes could be nighttime (which is great!), food, indoor, fireworks, kids, sports, etc...
-Macrofocus - this will look like a little flower on the camera settings. By pushing this you can get really close to something w/good focus. It's a little flower because it's 'designed" to take close-up photos of flowers. Oh, most cameras have this.
-Also, and for me pretty important, taken into consideration what kind of memory card you currently use. If you get a camera with a different type of memory, you'll have that added expense.
-And consider how else you'll be using it. My sister liked my camera, but she keeps hers in her purse she she perferred a slim, lightweight one.

That's what I was talking about...the macro function. LOL.
This is the one I use :
http://www.walmart.com/cart.gsp?add_list=4756536,1|
it's about $300.00 at walmart. It works great, I can take very very close up pictures without the picture bein blurry and also it has a stabilizer, in case your hand shakes or so. Check it out.
Espero te ayude.

definately check if you have a macro setting before you buy a new camera. It looks like a flower usually. You can't really zoom very well with it (mine won't focus when I zoom) but it will focus when you get very close to the object. If your current camera does not have a macro setting, that is what you should be looking for in order to take the types of pictures you described.
You may want to look into a tripod first. THey make smaller ones than the pros use. I know my camera has a sensor on it if the camera has motion to it. They do recommend a tripod.
Silvercat, I had always heard people say this, but never realized just how much of a difference it could make. About two months ago, DH started taking a tripod when we set up wedding cakes. The pictures are amazing!!! It looks very professional. I think ours was about $15 at WalMart.
, I never really knew what to look for in a camera. this helps me a lot.Quote by @%username% on %date%
