If Scott's idea doesn't work (and that is a good idea)- disable the flash, prop the camera on something solid (like a book of something), program a delay into the shutter fire, hit the button, and step away to get a clearer shot in low light.

A lot of these camera's also have different light settings which need to be played with to get what you want.

In addition to my SLR, I also love the canon powershots. I buy them at will and have them laying everywhere. So versatile and convenient, and even they are too powerful for uploads to pp without lowering the resolution. I think it even has a macro setting. The cool thing about the small point and shoots as you can put them on an el-cheapo tripod and they are so featherweight the whole assembly works.
No flash, never use it.

I've got a tripod, problem is it's tough to use because I typically have large area (1-2 meters of parts spread out) shots and then close-ups. Been trying to hire an assistant for a month now. I think it's a good idea and time/cost-effective for them to use the tripod.
