How do these digital camera pictures look?

[Aimster]

Every single one of my pictures were coming out blurry with the automatic settings. This camera has so many options and I was messing around with it. I finally got it to stop getting blurry by changing the autofocus to center instead of wide. Hopefully by next week I'll know what I'm doing. How do the pictures compare to a Canon? Any tips camera experts?

they were taken with 3M and then resized:

Fine, but stop using the flash. Flash makes pics look horrible, unless you know how to use it correctly (which is hard with a built in flash). The only time I use flash is in extreme low light, or when I don't care if the pic comes out bad (at a party or something).

Steady your hand, use no flash, raise the ISO if you have to.

I don't know about this advice. Raising the ISO make pictures appear a little noisier. When you say steady your hand, I'm assuming you're implying to increase your exposure time and use a tripod?
