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?

>>2 knows what he's talking about :D
How did you come across such an expensive camera if you know nothing about them???? Read the user manual on taking pictures?? Moving on.
A sports setting would be good if you're taking quick shots like you said. Even the Automatic setting is better than programming your own specifications....you'll get constantly blurry pictures if you're taking quick snaps with the settings on, for instance, 2048x1536 pixels+, vivid quality, and multi-spot metering. I'm going off of my experience with a Samsung A402 (lol cheap), but usually cameras behave similarly when it comes to settings.
If you're so inclined to set your own settings, I'd say that you should have this preset for quick shots like you want to take:
Auto flash, 1600x1200px size, normal quality, normal sharpness. Even then, experimentation is nessicary.

Advice: take quick snapshots of cars with the unit set on different settings until you get an acceptably-clear picture.
