It looks like Canon has a rather well priced 60mm EF-S macro. 50-60mm, f/2.8 to f/4 lenses have been excellent for forty years, so I have no reason to doubt that the Canon 60mm is anything less, although I admit that I haven't looked at it.
As an admitted newbie, I'll say this as gently as I can: if you want 100% blur free, you want a lower resolution camera. Between depth of field and diffraction, you're going to get blur at high resolution, regardless of whether you're spending $100 or $100,000 on the camera and lens. The trick is to use light and shadow to create apparent sharpness, even when resolution is relatively low (or, depending on what you want to achieve, vice versa).
My recommendation is to get that Canon lens (or something comparable), commit to working with it for six months to two years, and during that time note what problems you have with the camera and the lens. Don't try to fix them; do try to work around them; but note them so that, the next time you're in the market, you can identify the lens you want and the best (for your needs) camera to go with it.
Cheers,
Jon
