Do you think it would be worth getting a new camera body, or should I just keep playing around with the 400D? By the way, I have no issues with the macro lens - it's very good, but I feel as though some image stabilization somewhere in the mix would be a good thing.
Thoughts and advice appreciated.

Sorry to critcise your image but in my opinion it really does look poor given the body you own. What exactly is the 60mm macro lens you are using?
I can see no EXIF data so can't check your settings.
This image almost looks as if you have breeched the minimum focal range for the lens.
The image aslo looks bright enough to have given you a fast enough shutter speed in APERTURE PRIORITY setting.
Perhaps to give us a better idea you could set your sytem up on a tripod and take a picture of a pencil tip, for example, focussing on where the lead meets the wood.
Try to fill as much of the frame as possible but make sure it is within the focal range of the lens.
Cheers
