* Use a sharp lens: This is the #1 factor in getting the sharp images. In general, a good-quality (like the Canon L lens) gives at least twice (sometimes 4x) the resolution of a bad-quality lens; a fixed lens is at least twice as sharp as a zoom lens.
* Don't use a filter: Most people use filters to protect the lens and for special effects, but most filters are not good-quality and diffuse light too much.
* Clean the lens well: especially the front-end.
* Use a higher-resolution camera: A 25MP camera has 2x the resolving power (per dimension) than a 6MP camera.
* Use a tripod.
* Use higher shutter speeds: As a rule of thumb, for hand-holding, use a shutter speed of at least 1/[focal length]; for example, if the lens is 100mm, use speed of at least 1/100".
* Use anti-shake (image-stabilized) lens: This is a cheap way of getting sharp images.
* Hand-hold lens carefully: Keep elbows close to body; hold breath when clicking shutter.
* User lower ISO: Don't use a higher ISO than you have to. Higher ISOs tend to introduce more noise into the photos.
