My camera is:
Concord EyeQ Duo LCD
1.3 megapixels
2x digital zoom
9.9mm f/3.2
flash
the manual says its "focus free from 4 feet to infinity"

Some- well alot- of it is your camera- fixed focus 4 feet to infinity ain't going to do very well in the macro realm. Something like the $200 canon A60 would do a lot better in getting closer.
