Just a couple things come to mind. Did you use a tripod, or did you do it "free hand" which might allow camera rotation (fuzzy) if the elbows are not locked against your body and the hand supports the camera from below.
The second thing that comes to mind, did you use a lens hood? If you did, and the hood is too small you could expect to see the corners of the picture out of focus. One way of checking this is to look at a bright object through the lens and see if the corners appear darkened. If they do, you need to go to a step-up ring and a larger hood. However, you might try using the telephoto feature of the lens and see at the closer view if the lens hood is ok. Sometimes a the longer focal length (the lens is retracted) the corners are a problem, but this goes away as you extend the lens.
Good luck.

Carl,
There is no hood for this camera, it was bought just basic. I think it may have been camera shake as I did do it without a stand. The resolution was 640 x 480 so I think I will alter that to 1200 x 960. I wanted to use this to put pics on the forums but at 1200 it would be about 180 Kb which would be unacceptable really. Anyway I thank you for your advise.

Hi, Charles!
I'd reccommend using a tripod for the close-up stuff. I've been shooting handheld as well, and find it very hard to get a good picture (especially in macro mode). Next round I intend to use my tripod, assuming I can find room to set it up in my office! <IMG SRC="/forums/images/glasses.gif" BORDER=0 ALT="

I've added some of the results of my vacation hunting trip to my web site. You might want to check it out if you haven't been there in a while. You may notice the problems with image clarity that I mentioned in the photos on the second page... some of them just aren't as sharp as they could be. All were originally shot at 1280 x 960, which should provide plenty of crispness...
Sorry I haven't been in touch lately. I've been busy with vacation, family, remodelling, et. al. Good to see that you found the Finds Forums! (Alliteration only partly intended). The folks here are a fountain of information, and they're fun too!

Hello Lois,
How nice to 'see' you on the forum and sorry for the delay in replying but I have been to my hometown of Boston in Lincolshire to see my brother and sister who were in hospital and have only just fired up, so to speak. I will not go into detail here. I will have a look at your page which sounds interesting. The tripod thing is not too expensive at
