Photography - help ! Issues with pic quality on Panasonic TZ7

I have a Panasonic TZ7 - but even using the Auto feature - I don't always get such great pictures - sometimes they come out quite dark (this is usually when using the zoom) and if the flash goes it's too washed out. I like to use the macro mode - but when using this feature once the picture is taken - if I zoom in on the picture - the quality deteriorates immediately. I take a lot of nature pics - lots of insects, butterflies etc - zooming makes the picture really blurry. Now here's my dilemma - I have a Nokia N97 which can also take pics (5megapixels) and when using the macro feature on that it is totally awesome!! I can zoom in after I've taken the picture and the quality is still pin sharp and just amazing. There is no pixelation at all. Why can I not do this using my expensive camera??

Can anyone give me any tips or point me to any sites which give guidance on photography????

To The World: I have a couple of minutes of unknown music on a cassette, so how would I get it onto my pc so that I can let the world hear it and possibly identify it? Ta Muchly.

Your panasonic allows you to set the picture size, you should be in the 3+ mbyte range. Have you set this to a smaller value, similar with the effective film speed, you should be in the ASA 64 - 400 range, if you are above this then the results may struggle. I also use a panasonic and get great results
