"I know somebody who knows somebody who gets good results from brand x."
That's not a very good reason--in my mind--to switch to brand x, regardless
of how good brand x is.

With all due respect, that's the wrong reason to buy into a different camera
system.  Why aren't your pictures sharp?  There many be reasons outside of
the camera itself.  There is no guarantee you'll get sharp pictures simply
by switching brands.  

What are you currently using?  Are you wanting a reflex or a rangefinder?
