I am not 100% sure that this falls into this category, but it definitely has to do with fast movement. I've been trying to find a way to take decent pictures of my son...an infant who has recently gotten his feet under him...and moves constantly.
The problem I'm running into is that if I change the ISO speed to capture the movement I get bad noise really quickly. I'd like to take a nice sharp photo of him with as little blur as possible, but with as little noise as possible.
I've attached a photo of my son at his first birthday so you can see what I'm talking about. His hands are a complete blur (he loves to clap), you can tell that his hat was moving, but the high chair is full of noise.
For those that are wondering I'm only using a Nikon Coolpix S210. It's a little point and shoot, and the pics I used to take before he was born (Still shots) have come out pretty good, but he has definitely presented me with a photographic challenge.

I re-uploaded the file. Last time my computer kept freezing every ten minutes so I think something goofed up on the upload.

I like the hand movement, it shows animation rather than a static shot, but that's not your problem...
The camera you use (if i'm right) does not allow the manual choice of aperture and the exif data shows that the image was taken at 1/15 @ f/5.9 though the lens is capable of opening up to f/3.1... If f/3.1 could have ben selected then a shutter speed of around 1/60 could have been achieved, which may have been fast enough to greatly reduce the movement...

A program like Noiseware will reduce the noise when shooting at higher ISO settings...

The only real way to reduce the ISO and improve the shutter speed is to throw more light on the subject I'm afraid...

Thank you. The inability to manually adjust shutter speed has been one of my biggest pet peeves with this camera.

The only reason I even have it is because I told my girlfriend at the time that I was thinking about making the switch from film to digital. So she got it for me as a gift. It's not bad for the most part, and actually does take really nice photos for the most part, but my little guy is definitely testing me.

I like the duke movement, it shows action rather than a changeless shot, but that's not your problem. The camera you use does not acquiesce the chiral best of aperture. At all you shot a good picture. Really appreciated.
