Megapixels have little to do with picture quality. The camera industry knows most people incorectly think it does, so they sell crappy cameras with lots of megapixels to compensate.

If you want good pictures, you have to bite the bullet and get at least a 4 or 5 hundred dollar camera, with an image stabilizer. Don't worry about megapixels because anything over 5 is a waste, unless you plan to print huge posters.

I recently bought this guy and it's awesome.

yeah get a tripod that will help. in the meantime check to see if the iso is set really low. if it is try bumping it up a little bit.
