I have a Kodak Z700 and it is not working great with taking photography pictures of my baby. I don’t know much about photography, I am just getting into it. What features should I look for in a camera to do up close photography? Optical Zoom/megapixels, what should these be?! How do I know if a camera has a fast shutter speed? Thanks!

i looked at kodak.com and as far as i could read i think its a 4mp camera. If you want to take clear up close shots possible with a macro setting but still affordable, i would suggest upgrading to a higher mega pixel camera. Of course you could always go professional grade but it can get expensive.
Best thing to do is change the Lens. Sounds like any camera that uses replaceable lens and has a closeup lens available would work, it’s just a matter of cost.
get a canon power shot. it has face recognition so it can clearly figure out faces
First I was going to suggest you fine one with a close focus of 3cm or less, but then I realized you were talking about shooting tight shots of your child. This will need a camera with a good 3x or better optical zoom lens.
Forget any mention of ditial zoom. It only uses part of the sensor, thus introducing lower resolution.
Pixel wise, get at least one with 7MP and any shutter spead of 1/000th of a second or faster will prevent any camera or subject movement for effecting your images.
The camera you have now should be able to take good shots of your childs face and other cute features. Just use the telephoto portion of your camera
