It seems I have to hold the camara incredibly still to not get any blurriness on things in the near field. I think it has no anti-shake at all? My Xperia on 2.3.2 had no blur problems, anyone know any fix?

It takes a while to focus and if you move whilst it's focusing, it can cause blurriness etc. In the camera settings, there should be a touch to focus option. If you set that, that should help a great deal as you're telling it what area of the screen you want it to focus on before you take a shot.
Play around with the settings in the camera app via the Menu key. As El Presidente said, the touch focus is probably the key one in limiting blur - you might want to try turning off 'Auto focus' (and 'Face detection') and touching the screen to get the focal point instead.
Check 'Image adjustments', too. By default, all those settings should be '0', which should give a good enough picture. However, you might find playing around with 'Sharpness' and 'Exposure' can limit blur or fuzziness, depending on the composition of the photo.
Also ensure there is good light. The less light, the more blur and shake, unless you hold the camera very still. You'll see the 'hand' sign to indicate when you need to do this; usually, in these conditions, the camera should be mounted to ensure it doesn't move at all.
Finally, make sure the lens is clean. If it's a little dirty, then this could cause your shots to lose sharpness.

Don't know if this will also help: [GUIDE] Desire HD Camera guide - all issues resolved - xda-developers
It's for the DHD, but they are very similar as far as I'm aware. (it helped me a great deal)

thanks for that good link. I should make clearer though I'm talking about the cameras sensitivity to hand shake while taking the picture (causing a motion blur on the picture).
HTC photo app seems more sensitive to this than other cameras.

You might want to try some of the alternatives to see if that improves things (even though it sounds like you've an issue with camera hardware)?
Camera 360 is a pretty good app, as is Camera Zoom FX (although it's not free), you might also want to give LG Camera a try?

I have Vignette, which I love. But I like using the stock app too, as the quick and easy default. It just seems you cant move the phone a millimetre when you press the button without it blurring.
