1. Take close up shots. I don't need the close ups to be super close ups. Just close enough to get a really nice look at the animal.



I don't know what the maximum magnification of your camera is, but with a minimum focusing range of 10cm, you should be able to get decent shots. Try getting as close as you can with the camera zoomed all the way out.



2. I want to be able to take a picture without having the picture come out blurry whenever the object is moving.



You will have the same problem with a $5000 DSLR or any other camera on the market. The problem is that you are using too slow a shutter speed. You would be much better off spending $20-30 first on a good photography book which would teach you how to choose the correct shutter speed and aperture combination for the effect you want.



Once you learn the basics of photography you will be able to make an informed decision about whether your camera meets your needs or not. If it doesn't, then you will be able to know how to choose another that is right for you, rather than relying on other people's biases.
