Pictures are Blurry All the Sudden
I have been using Panasonic DMC-ZS3 for a while and I have been satisfied with it. However for the current trip, its pictures are blurry and I can't figure it out why. 
Has it gone bad on me? Has anyone else had similar problem? If the camera has gone bad, I won't be getting another Panasonic model for sure. I guess I'll stick with Canon...

If you'll post what you consider a good shot and a blurry shot, we'd have at least some solid information to go on. Right now guessing what is wrong is just that – guessing.

Could also be a battery issue. In my personal shots, I can tell when my batteries are starting to die as the quality of the shots goes from excellent to good to meh.

But more importantly, memory cards. As they start to fill up, the quality of the shots go from good to bad to horrible. [My technique is bad, so I never get "excellent" pictures even with full batteries and empty memory cards.]

I have the same problem ... albeit on an iPhone. Pics were crystal clear and now they are all grainy. I recognize this is an iPhone, yet the difference in pic quality is very noticeable.
It wasn't dropped or anything and I've cleaned the lenses ... yet nada!
What gives?

We all know iPhone only last until the next version comes out. If yours is an iPhone4, expect it to stop taking pictures altogether when the 5 comes out. If yours is anything <4, then consider yourself very lucky.
