How can I take better Digital cam pictures?  I have a Sony Cyber Shot Digital camera, 4.1 Megapixels, DSC-S60 & Carl Zeiss Lens.  I don't know anything about cameras and this is my first digital camera. 
Saturday night I went all through Downtown Las Vegas and the Strip taking pictures of everything, when I got home and looked at them they weren't that good.  Pictures fuzzy, constantly having to take pics two or three times cause they just seem blurry.  Even then when I do get one that's sharp, I zoom in with the pic when its on my pc and its still kinda fuzzy.
Example at above URL
Do I play with EV settings?  ISO settings?  Will taking pics at say 3 megapixels rather than 4 be better?  Shutter speed almost isn't accessible, I have to go to 'M' or 'P' program settings to change shutter speed, even then I only get two options. 

Although quite handy, sometimes a old free camera I recieved from a casino seems to take sharper pictures and I can't help but feel I'm doing something wrong.  What should I be doing?

Changing the megapixels won't do anything.
Blurriness comes from lack of luminosity, requiring a longer exposition, which makes pictures blurry if the subjects move or if you don't use a tripod. You can use a flash even by day if your subject is close to avoid that.

If your camera has those, It is probably better to stick to pre-programmed modes than to change the settings yourself on a point-and-shoot. I always leave my point-and-shoot (Fujifilm FinePix A340) in "Sports" mode with automatic flash so that I can be ready to shoot anything in a few seconds.


What should I be doing?
Take as many photos as you can, all the time. Experiment a lot.
Buy a tripod.
Learn Photoshop.
