Subject: Advice on digital photographs

Grrr...
 
I specifically bought a digital camera so that I could take
pictures of electronic and computer bits. With my film camera if I
got close enough to see the thing I was photographing it was so
close everything was blurred.
 
I bought a Goodmans G-SHOT 3023TFT 3.2 Megapixel camera last year.
Initially it seems OK - see mdfs.net/HWPS/358front.jpg - but even
this give me crap photos. Compare most of the pictures at
mdfs.net/Info/Comp/BBC/pics with John Kortink's picture of the
GoMMC near the bottom.
 
I specifically require the ability to take clear pictures of
things like GoMMCs - see the attempt at a 32K ROM on the same
page. I need to be able to take pictures clear enough so you can
read the writing on an IC.
 
Any advice, people?
