Thank you to both of you.

I notice that my camera is mostly selecting ISO 200 for the shots. Since my product shots all get reduced for the web, I am going to increase the ISO to 400 and see if that reduces some of the softness I am seeing. I will also start shopping for a tripod. I have actually wanted a tripod for a very long time, but never found one that seemed right.

Thank you.

Do you live in the U.S.? If so, here is a suggestion:

(I was looking a ball-head tripods at $30 or below up to 60" tall). Pan-heads seem to be cheaper, but I think ball heads are a lot easier/faster for product photography. I got my Dolica Proline 62" tripod on a good sale for $32 shipped, but that kind of a sale doesn't come around often. I like the taller version, but if you're just shooting at table surface or lower, you could do fine with a lower max height tripod.  If you do need cheaper, you can get A reasonable tripod for half that price.
